Tony Walker
Enjoy
a free and expressive approach to creating with watercolour.
Skills and techniques tutoring covers composition,
negative space, saving white, washes, granulation, tonal and
colour balance, drawing, perspective, and figures in the
landscape.
Explore
the materials, including types of paper, various brushes,
palette choices and more.
Experience
working directly from the subject – ‘plein air’ - getting
the ‘essentials’ onto paper. Review selection
of subject and ways of using references such as photos and
field sketches.
Interpretation is an integral component – how to
express your vision in your work.
Whether you are realist or have an abstract approach, this
workshop is aimed to improve technical skills as well as
insight into the art, and in the process you will create
work to take home and frame.
Medium: ‘Watercolour’ can be purely the transparent medium
or can include the use of acrylic on paper if the art group
wishes. This refers to using acrylic is as a medium to add
substance or opacity to a watercolour technique.
Subject matter may
be landscape or may include the figure/face depending
on the group’s desires. Similarly it is anticipated that the
group may like to participate in some periods of plein air painting.
The workshop presentation is assisted by the use of
projection and video. This facilitates instruction and
enables the presentation of tutorial slides as well as
images providing a wide range of subject matter.
Workshops are available at venues at Noosavile on the
Sunshine Coast and Alderley in Brisbanes as morning or
afternoon classes once a week. Groups may also arrange two
day workshops or other periods by arrangement.
