In this popular virtual workshop, your teacher Carlie Edwards will walk you through the fun process to paint your own beautiful Australian birds! The workshop format is a recording of a public group workshop with interaction of participants at various intervals. Common questions get asked which many participants find handy to watch.
You’ll get to play with a range of simple watercolour techniques and special effects at home that will help get you relaxed and confident with this gorgeous medium, before creating your lovely watercolour bird artworks.
We’ll give you a series of bird templates to choose from, so there are no drawing skills required. Carlie will walk you through one simple bird and one more advanced bird during the workshop.
Over two-and-a-half-hours hours you'll learn:
- How to apply watercolours
- Tools and techniques to achieve special effects
- How to navigate ‘happy accidents’ and simple ways to make corrections
- Colour mixing, colour theory and how to choose colours for your artwork
- Tips to frame your brand new masterpieces!
Painting tropical birds in loose, flowing colours is a beautiful skill to learn, and is the perfect way to introduce you to the mesmerising art of watercolour!
