During the workshop, we will revise wash techniques, study of values, colour mixing, perspective and atmospheric perspective, compositional devices, angle of viewpoint, the use and application of various types of soft brushes, papers and formats.
We will emulate their techniques & processes and we will create 2 paintings that put their practices into action.
