No short cuts.<\/p>\n<p>In the workshop, you will draw an apple with 2B pencil then paint\/draw with artist quality watercolour which is my selection of 6 colours.<br \/>\nThe recipe (draw\/paint an apple) appears to be simple but you will learn so many things along the way.<\/p>\n<p>I hope the experience at the workshop will set you off on your watercolour painting journey.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\" align=\"center\"><a title=\"Watercolour painting - Apple Procedure by Northshore School of Art, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/northshoreschoolofart\/16061375422\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7466\/16061375422_576a8aa0f4.jpg\" alt=\"Watercolour painting - Apple Procedure\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h2>Suitable for;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>those who haven&#8217;t done watercolour for a long time but would like to start again.<\/li>\n<li>those who are not sure watercolour is for them, would like to have a whole experience before spending some money on art materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h2>We will cover;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Studying the shape of an apple.<\/li>\n<li>How to set the lighting onto an apple.<\/li>\n<li>Demonstration by Ako: Drawing &amp; painting an apple.<\/li>\n<li>Drawing an apple with 2B Pencil: See the shape, the value and the edge.<\/li>\n<li>How to mix colours<\/li>\n<li>Painting with watercolour: Wet in wet (Light &amp; Vivid colours), Dry completely, Wet on Dry (thicker &amp; darker paint), Negative painting, and Glazing.<\/li>\n<li>Painting an apple with watercolour without a pencil drawing.<\/li>\n<li>Introducing &#8220;15min daily drawing&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h2>Art Materials<\/h2>\n<p>All art materials which will be used in the workshop will be supplied.
