Watercolour lessons
Although I have painted in various media for years, I have never had a watercolour lesson. I decided to remedy this when a friend told me about a series of seven lessons being given in the evenings once a week at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design.
This week will be my third class and I have already learned so much.
Lesson one was a review of the colour chart and I learned how to find the complimentary colour and make variants of grey.
Lesson two had us trying various techniques. I have never sprinkled salt on wet watercolour before – the effects are delightful.
Although I have used resist techniques before, it was fun using wax pencil to make a moon.
Watercolour is very relaxing. I love the wet-on-wet technique, watching how colours bleed into one another.
And here is my new watercolour of tiny trees.
Looking forward to this week’s lesson.
All my best,
Jane

Yes, I do too. So relaxing. When you touch the brush to a wet page, it’s like slow motion, watching where the colour will go.
