How to Paint a vibrant seascape with Robin Hicks
About
Using washes, colour mixing, adding textures and tones we will delve into how to paint a vibrant, living ocean scene. This workshop will cover aspects of layering paint, glazing to create light and some pen work to add more character (if desired).Two smaller works on A4 size watercolour paper is the goal, so that the student can explore more possibilities with varied technical approaches to painting.
As always, I will guide you through the process and give full a demonstration from start to finish.
