aBOUT THE WORKSHOP
During this workshop we will focus on a landscape and a lake scene painting.
Kasper will demonstrate how to break-down a complex nature scene by simplifying shapes and values to make these a basis for a successful painting.
Over the two days we will be painting two watercolours. The workshop will be based on a 3-part demonstration where Kasper will show his technique and after each part he will assist the students along the way.
We will start each day with a value study of our chosen scene which will serve as a ‘roadmap’ for our actual painting.
The structure of the workshop is mainly through demonstrations and explanations.
-
- How tonal values influence the mood and depth of your painting
- The importance of connecting shapes in the painting
- How to enhance atmospheric perspective in the landscape
- How to effectively paint water reflections
- The importance of having a focal point in the painting.
- Suggestions where to paint more details and where to be more loose.
- Working with wet-into-wet and dry brush techniques to achieve different effects.
- Techniques to adjusting the final painting by lifting paint in certain areas
All of this and more will be delivered through demonstrations and personalised attention -
- Good quality watercolour paper. Preferable 100% cotton paper. Kasper paints on Arches cold pressed
- Selection of round synthetic brushes, a larger hake brush
- Any watercolour paint will do (tubes, not pans). Kasper uses mostly Holbein and W&N Cotman.
- A watercolour palette
- A soft pencil and rubber
- A water container
- Some rags and tissue
- A small water spray bottle
