FRAMED JUST FOR YOU
122 Brisbane Rd, Labrador
Air-conditioned studio with no steps. Kitchen and bathroom in the same building. Parking directly outside.
Learn to create luminous relationships between lights and darks, warm and cool colours, and greyed complements. Design with glazing techniques rather than mixing colours on the palette. Learn how to make colour combinations pulsate by using the science of simultaneous contrast. A combination of colour theory, exercises and a watercolour painting project will give participants a greater understanding of using colour to make paintings come alive. These techniques would be valuable knowledge for all media.
BYO lunch, morning tea is provided.
This would make a great Mother's Day gift! To receive the special Mother's Day gift price, please book before April 30. You don't have to even be a mother! :-) This workshop is limited to 10 students.

WHAT TO BRING
Paints –Bring a range of transparent professional quality watercolours in your preferred brand.
Paper –You will require 300gsm Cold Pressed watercolour paper in Medium or Rough. Experienced watercolourists may prefer Hot Pressed paper instead. My recommendation is to buy a watercolour block as the paper is already stretched. ¼ or ½ sheet size is fine. Quality brands are Arches or Saunders Waterford. Student quality paper just doesn’t work well. Make sure the paper is 100% Cotton.
Brushes - Bring whatever watercolour brushes you already own, but include at least two ‘rounds’ with a sharp point (one small and one larger), plus a larger ‘mop’ brush for backgrounds. There are so many good brushes on the market I won’t specify any particular brand, but just make sure they are designated watercolour brushes.
Palette – The large plastic palettes with lots of wells and a lid are my recommendation. Make sure it has a large enough mixing area.
Board –Larger than your paper and something to prop up under one end for working at an angle.
Other Necessities – Drawing equipment (pencils, eraser, ruler etc, plus pen and paper for taking notes), 1 sheet of graphite transfer paper (not carbon paper), an old towel or hand towel, tissues, 2 plastic containers for water, and masking tape. A medicine dropper or plastic pipette for squirting small amounts of water would also be handy.
Jan will supply the reference material for this workshop.
