Abstract watercolour
and playful collage
This watercolour/collage class is one step up from the playful beginners class ​as it would be helpful to have a few watercolour tricks under your belt! its not essential though ...
​
STEP ONE :
We begin by printing a selection of interesting papers ,using flowers, grasses, and texture blocks using a deliciously squidgy gel plate. We will be printing onto different weights of paper, wet strength tracing paper, leaves of a book and printer paper. We will be adding detail and layers to these papers by using stencils and stamps.
STEP TWO:
​
These we let dry and we move onto creating some abstract watercolour backgrounds ...​​​​​​​​
STEP THREE:
​
And now we have some fun with the backgrounds and papers we've made. We can use the backgrounds as abstract doodles playing with colour and adding watercolour glazes ,acrylic pens and with some we can make them into small paintings using the paper we made and collaging them onto the backgrounds . Adding script ,as another layer, should we want to personalise the painting
​
Pop the paintings onto an A6 postcard and you've made a few deliciously unique handmade cards .
This Abstract watercolour and collage workshop is for 3 hours and you will leave with a number of finished painting/collages and envelopes alongside 10 or more backgrounds and sheets of collage paper which you use to make your own cards later on... It's an addictive art medium ....you can just keep adding layer upon layer to a watercolour background . Just knowing when to stop is probably more the issue !

​
Price for 3 hour workshop is £42

We're starting small with workshops for up to 4 people so there's space around you and I have allowed a little extra workshop time so there is no hurry and there is no rush. The usual tea and florentines are on hand to see us through the 3 hours
