2013 Course Details

Jeremy Ford is one of the UK’s leading professional teaching artists and is a friendly and engaging tutor. “Watercolour Flowers" is not botanical illustration but painting in a more free and spontaneous way. Jeremy will demonstrate how to achieve stunning final paintings which are underpinned by accurate draughtmanship.

In “Watercolour Landscapes” Jeremy will demonstrate how to construct atmospheric landscape subjects using a limited range of carefully chosen colours. Jeremy will tackle some of the more challenging aspects of watercolour painting, from colour mixing and compositional arrangements to the use of washes and final finishing touches.
