Snowdrop Watercolour Workshop (online): The National Garden Scheme
and live on Freeview channel 276
This Snowdrops Online Watercolour Workshop is suitable for all levels of artist. Claire talks about watercolour paper and paint, and shows you how to mix and use the paints. You will learn about applying washes and masking fluid, as well as the tricks to create a mid-ground, foreground and background.
Your Snowdrops will look beautiful in watercolour as Claire will teach you how to make them stand out, by adding shadows and detail.
