Three Day Watercolour Workshop: Instructor Soon Y. Warren

Watercolour Group Studio Exercise

The class will learn how to create an image of chosen subjects, Ballet dancers in watercolour with a step-by-step process. To speed up the class exercise, Soon Y Warren will provide a reference photo and drawing for the group exercise. Following a painting demonstration, workshop participants will do their own painting in order to fully understand the process. While concentrating on technique, the concept of colour theory, composition, and colour values will be incorporated into the workshop.

While painting workshop participants will learn:

• Glazing and washing techniques to create a luminous underpainting
• How to utilize light and dark values in order to capture the sparkle of glass
• How to approach a painting
• How to incorporate the concept of colour theory and colour relationships into a painting
• Discussion and critiques will follow during the workshop session
• In addition to the group exercise, participants are encouraged to bring current pieces to paint along with reference photos. To make the most of instructional time, prepare the drawing before the workshop.

To read about the process of how to paint the same crystal bowl before the workshop, read the step-by-step painting process of the same crystal in my second book “Painting Vibrant Watercolour- discover the magic of light, colour and contrast.”
