From time to time I give a workshop for aquarelle starters in our atelier Le Hangar.
To avoid having to print all that material every time, I combined it all into a book... The cover page is a painting by Sandra Seymour-Dale and the picture on the back shows our Aquarellista! group...
The book (40 pages) contains exercises for 5 afternoons, as well as a lot of worthwhile hints and tips.
Below you can look inside a couple of pages by way of preview - give it a minute to load...
I look forward to your comments!
A blog full of ideas for subjects, tests and observations, for artists, teachers and students who like to use Aquarelle Watercolours

Aquarellista new Talent
The last 4 weeks I have run an aquarelle starters class on Monday-and the participants have already developed to a high technical level! They understand about colours, the characteristics of the material itself, paint, paper, brushes. They have experimented with wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry, and learned how to suggest volume, shade and shadow. What also impresses me is how they all are in their own individual way developing their creativity! 
These are abstracts, first painted with aquarelle paint, then washed and then all the different surfaces are given another wash that suggests volume...
