Watercolour is a beautiful medium to paint with. The bright translucent pigments are a perfect combination with any drawing media. However, the uncontrollable flow of water on paper and the unforgiving nature of paper itself can make the expereince feel very daunting. Watercolour, combined with pen is a more relxed way of using the medium and also lets you explore and develop a unique style. You will be surprised to see beautiful results right from the beginning!

The workshop is divided into two sessions. During the first session, you will learn the basic techniques using watercolour and combine it with pen.

The second session will concentrate on creating beautiful florals in a loose watercolour and pen technique. Please find the schedule for this workshop below.

• 2.00 pm- 2.40 pm: Introduction to watercolour and pen.
• 2.40pm- 2.50pm: Question and answer session; during this time you can ask me any questions you have regarding the medium, materials etc.
• 2.50pm-3.00pm: Short break
• 3.00 pm- 4.00pm: Paint loose watercolour florals using reference pictures and locally sourced flowers.
