Watercolour Washes and Variation

Our aims for this workshop

Watercolour washes are another way of describing the watercolour painting process, and in this workshop we'll delve more deeply into the techniques I focus on when I'm applying my washes.

Our aims are:

  1. To understand why we talk about 'washes' not 'painting'

  2. To look at how to vary our watercolour washes

  3. To show that variation leads to quick and interesting effects

  4. To gain confidence by using variation in a range of thumbnail and full sketches
