Mon 24th April 10am - 12pm
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for beginners with a little experience and improvers. This is a work-along workshop and so we would encourage students to have their materials to hand, ready to participate live during the class.
Workshop details
In this two-part workshop, we will be exploring the different ways of using watercolour pencils to create a drawing/painting of spring flowers and botanicals. We will be looking at the different pencils and techniques that can be used to create an interesting and exciting study.
Each week, we will begin with the basic observational drawing that will be developed into a painting. This gives an opportunity to explore the different ways that the watercolour pencils can be used to best advantage for each person taking part. The painting can be precise or wonderfully spontaneous.
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions during the demonstrations and students will be encouraged to experiment with this interesting medium between classes.

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Jan will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.
