Tutor: Jan Mehigan
Wed 4th October 2pm - 4pm
Wed 11th October 2pm - 4pm
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for students of all abilities. 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 class, you will be learning how to draw and paint the rich vegetables and fruits of October; we will be focusing on tomatoes, peppers and mushrooms.
Jan will demonstrate how to begin your drawing for you to then paint confidently, using fresh clean watercolour. We will consider the technique of wet-into-wet, wet into dry, and learn how to build colour to give rich details to the study, plus creating soft shadows to give light and clarity to your work.
We will look at masking areas and lifting colour. We will investigate ways of mixing good greens, which is always difficult, to enhance the chosen vegetable or fruit when adding leaves and stems. Jan will demonstrate the easy way to create good composition.
We will work on a different painting each week and there will be time for feedback on your work at the end of session two. This online class with Jan will be informative, fun, rewarding and enjoyable.

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.
