Paint a Flamingo in Watercolours
In this workshop, we’ll paint a loose and splashy flamingo. We start by constructing our image in pencil using a simple grid, using a pencil and ruler to get the best shape we can. Next, we learn different watercolour techniques including wet on dry, wet on wet and then flicking paint on top of everything! We practice on spare paper first before creating our final masterpiece. It's all about the practice! Each process is broken down into easy to manage sections and all videos are in real-time.
