Painting Workshop with Gouache & Watercolour

Artist Thomasin Toohie will demonstrate and talk you through creating a sketch in the open air around Cardiff Bay from which you can later create a painting back in our workshop space at the gallery. If the weather is poor then instead of working outdoors Thomasin will set up a still life from which you can work. She will show you how to combine watercolour and goauche paints to produce multi layered paintings. Covering wash & stroke techniques, use of colour, tone & perspective.

Materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own paints and paint brushes if you have them already at home. No prior painting or drawing experience is needed – suitable for all abilities.

Please book your place through Craft in the Bay.
