Britain's What's On Event Guide
Experimental & Abstract Watercolour
Early Bird Offer - 20% off - Was £130 Now £104 - Offer valid until 4th June 2024
Join Jeremy Ford for this two-day experimental, non-figurative watercolour course. The course is designed to free the painter from any preconceived ideas of acceptability, success and failure and to just go with the flow of colour, feeling and emotion.
Using numerous watercolour techniques, mediums, colours and approaches, we will quite simply have fun with paint.
Jeremy studied Graphic Design at Southport College of Art, (1972-5) and Illustration at Harrow College of Art, London (1975-8) and has been a professional artist and illustrator since, working on a wide variety of books, magazines and greeting cards.
Jeremy undertakes commissions in all paint media and has done work for The Royal Horticultural Society, Bradford Exchange Limited Edition Plates, RCA Records, The British Tourist Authority and American Express Travel Guides, amongst many others. He has demonstrated for St. Cuthbert's Paper Mill, the makers of Bockingford and Saunders Waterford watercolour papers, and was Senior Tutor and Principal UK demonstrator for the Michael Wilcox School of Colour.
All materials, refreshments and lunch provided.
If you do wish to bring along your own paints, then feel free to do so.
Jeremy doesn't insist that people use the same colours, so if you'd like to bring along the colours you are familiar with, then that's ok.
If you are considering buying artist quality colours then Jeremy recommends the following colours:
Ultramarine
Phthalocyanine Blue
Cerulean Blue
Cadmium Red Light or Cadmium Red Pale, or Vermillion
Cadmium Red, which is slightly darker will do
Permanent Rose, (Quinacridone Violet is the same, as is Quinacridone Rose)
Cadmium Yellow or Cadmium Yellow Light, or Cadmium Yellow Pale
Hansa Yellow Light
Quinacridone Gold and/or Raw Sienna and/or Yellow Ochre
Phthalocyanine Green
White gouache
