Painting Programme Day 3

 

Watercolour painting holidays in France - Day Three

Composition, Wash and Colour

Day Three  - Techniques for finishing and changing pictures in the studio.

Holiday day three - Spend the morning in the studio and the afternoon in the heart of the countryside where rolling hills and valleys are punctuated by small towns. Sunflowers poppies, golden corn and lush trees stretch into the distance where they meet the Black Mountains and beyond to the Pyrenees.

Painting is loose, drawing is minimal, and we will use all our colours to create broad wet on wet washes.
