Fri 7th July 10am - 12pm
Fri 14th July 10am - 12pm
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for beginners and those wishing to further develop their skills with watercolour. 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
Enjoy the pleasure of drawing and painting beautiful summer flowers with all the freshness and subtleties of summer colours.
First, we will focus on drawing and the importance of careful observation. We will give consideration to mixing fresh translucent color and gain the ability to create good washes and blend colour expertly by using our brushes and paints to best advantage.
During this two-part workshop we will be exploring the techniques and tips of successfully drawing and painting summer flowers. The flowers can be executed as a precise botanical painting or in a modern way: large and loosely painted.
We will look at the different options and discuss the appropriate techniques and tools for each. The sessions will be spent learning the different methods available and using paint and water correctly rather than a finished painting. We will confirm which summer flowers will be the focus of the sessions, closer to the time.

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.
Tutors 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.
