Description

SAVE THE DATE - information is still being refined.

This workshop invites you to discover the unique personality of watercolour through exercises in techniques like wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and layering. You'll practice and hone the skill of watercolour application to capture this medium's beautiful transparent qualities to create depth, atmosphere, and luminosity.

We will cover essential topics such as paper selection, watercolour pigments, and their interaction with water to capture the delicate balance between light and shadow, bringing your watercolour paintings to life.

Testimonials

A big thank you to Julie McDonald Artist for guiding me through my first ever art class. It was welcoming, fun, interesting, challenging and there was cake and cups of tea and a stunning location.

Bronny Walsh -

Julie's paintings adorn walls throughout our home and all are very different in their subject and medium. A particular favourite of ours is a watercolour of our staffy dog as a pup. Julie has captured his personality perfectly. We would highly recommend a viewing of Julie's collection.

John & Cathy Gooding -

Helen -

I bought a painting from Julie at one of her exhibitions and the colours are amazing. A very talented local artist.

Julie Valentine -

Julie thank you for such a wonderful class yesterday. I went from stick figures to a landscape and wanting to buy charcoal. It was a fun afternoon in beautiful surroundings and practical steps that I can use to continue my journey.

Lesley Bennett -

We have two of Julie's beautiful paintings and they are exquisite. They have become much loved features in our home. The precision in her brushwork makes each artwork come to life and everyone comments on how lovely they are.

Julie's art is so expressive. I've bought a number of pieces so far. I love the different styles and in particular, how Julie beautifully, and expertly, captures the moment and character.

Nicky Strang -

Julie had the ability to give me the confidence to do something I felt I couldn't do in a comfortable atmosphere.

Sandra Cox -

I purchased one of Julie's beautiful floral paintings, which now hangs on my bedroom wall. It looks so real, I could almost reach out and touch the silky flowers and perfectly formed leaves. Julie has such a talent in the way she captures the spirit of whatever she is painting xx
