Workshop Goal

​

Students will learn how to capture the light, colour, architecture and mood of Mediterranean coastal towns using loose, expressive watercolour techniques.

​

We’ll draw inspiration from iconic locations such as Cinque Terre, Santorini, Venice, and Nice

 

Skill Level: All levels catered for.

Medium: Watercolour (loose & atmospheric style)

​

During the workshop you’ll create complete Mediterranean scenes, step-by-step, learning how to:

​

• Simplify complex buildings

• Mix glowing sunlit colours

• Paint convincing water and reflections

• Add people, boats and life effortlessly

• Use bold shadows for drama and depth

​

We will complete works based on a wide variety of references plus exercises and fundamentals.
 

Let’s create art with passion and fun, not hesitation and fear!
