Creative Watercolour Techniques
A fun workshop with a focus on exploring different approaches to using watercolour and discovering the versatility of the medium.

This is an experimental course and there will be lots of exploration into this unique method of painting.

Bridget will demonstrate techniques and approaches, as well as sharing her own work and using the work of a range of different artists as inspiration for the workshop.

We will also explore colour and how to use it in exciting ways to create images.

(Bridget also teaches a 10-week Experimental Watercolours course on Monday mornings at Explore York Library - course code: AT1/ME5.)
