Capture the beauty of flowers, plants, trees and shrubs in the beautiful
Somerset gardens of Bishop's Palace and Kilver Court Gardens including
the well pools, moat, streams and lakes, all with beautiful reflections with
buildings playing a supporting role.
We will spend some time out on location in the gardens gathering
information through observation, sketches and photographs which will
then be developed into full blown paintings in the studio.
Sian will tutor through a mixture of demonstrations, group exercises, and
individual guidance according to your prior experience. The aim of the
demonstrations will be to show how the unique and elusive properties of
watercolour transparency and freshness can be achieved. The basic
technical information will also be covered, with lots of tips and
techniques, and plenty of opportunities to apply them to your choice of
subject.
She approaches each person's needs at a highly individual level and is
perfectly happy working with beginners as well as more experienced
painters who feel in need of new inspiration to make more progress.
Sian's interest in the exciting properties of watercolour lends itself to an
approach that encourages students to discover when to control the
medium and when to allow its freedom.
