Join me for three days of focused, practical painting as we capture one of my favourite subjects — the otter — using just four colours. All materials will be provided.
Over the course, I’ll guide you through how to get the most from a limited palette, how to control water, build up transparent layers, and use tone to bring life and movement into your painting.
