SALLY MILNE WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP

SALLY MILNE will be running a Watercolour Workshop called
"Paintings of Glass" on the weekend of October 22nd and 23rd.
In this 2-day workshop we will explore techniques which will help participants conquer the notion that “glass is the hardest thing to paint in watercolour!” Sally will talk about her approach to this fascinating subject, do demonstrations focusing on achieving clean, transparent colour using both hard edges and soft fluid shapes. Topics for discussion will include setting up a palette, planning compositions using glass objects and creating both representational and abstract paintings. Students will be encouraged to work on some small technique paintings as well as a larger piece which communicates the transparent, reflective, fluid and solid aspects of glass. Some experience with watercolours will be helpful for this workshop.

Location: Kingston School of Art, corner of Princess and Victoria Streets
Date: Saturday, October 22nd and Sunday, October 23rd 2011
Time: 10am - 3:30pm (bring a lunch)
Fee: $135.
