First, you should definitely check out Colin's instagram @woodwardswatercolours!
Colin and I our ink and watercolour artists - with as many contrasts as we have similarities.
Colin calls his process painting, and I call my process sketching.
Colin mixes intuitively and realistically with his paints, I splash and splosh and am guided by the watercolours more than the scene sometimes.
Colin has an enviable neatness and clarity to his colours, I revel in taking risks and hoping for the best.
Neither of us are portrait painters, but I love adding abstracted people in, whilst Colin prefers scenes that celebrate the scene itself.
But we both have exactly the same love of architecture, landscapes and, more importantly, the same philosophy on creating - that it should be fun, full of forgiveness and part of journey of discovery not a rush to perfection.
The aim for the weekend is to help you develop your style - we will lead you through a series of guided workshops, both inside and outside. Discussing the principles that are common and fundamental to sketching architecture and landscapes in both ink and watercolour, but also how, why and when to break the rules.
Breaking the rules, after all, is how we develop our own styles - and is why Colin and I visually differ so much, when in fact we are so alike in our mindsets.
It would be amazing to see what was produced over the weekend and beyond - pop a couple of your sketches in the comments here if you're feeling it :)
We'd encourage you to ask questions here like...
Where are you staying?
Can I car share?
Is anyone coming early?
Can we meet up for lunch or dinner on Friday?
