Date: Monday, 4th August 

 

Tutor: Sharon Hurst is a Tutor, Demonstrator and TV Artist and is known for the  vibrant colours and bold designs in all her work, from fantasy watercolour and  silk scarves through to beaded jewellery. Entirely self-taught, she believes in  breaking rules because, as she says, “No-one ever taught me any, so I just go  my own way and experiment”! Sharon’s work is available in galleries both here  and abroad. 

 

Description: Come and try this interesting technique. We will be drawing a cottage, looking  at proportion and detail, learning how to simplify the details. This will then be  drawn in with a waterproof pen before we lay in a gentle wash of colours. 

 

This is a delightful technique to get you started should you ever want to sit  outside and sketch, on holiday for instance. 

 

Tutor will have black pens (£3), paper and some brushes at various prices to  purchase on the day if you wish.
