Weathered and Derelict

This course explores the textures of natural and man-made structures which have been weathered or abandoned and fallen into disuse. We’ll take a mixed media approach to using watercolour and pastel. The first week we’ll use watercolour with charcoal and ink to create some textures in a weathered or crumbling wall or rockface. Other subjects to include; abandoned houses, stone circles or dolmens, discarded machinery or disused industrial sites etc.

Please bring your own materials as indicated in the list below:
- Watercolours
- Brushes and palette
- Charcoal, a few pastels, ink and a pen or brush
- Natural sponge
- Old toothbrush
- Paper towel
- Watercolour paper (300gsm cold pressed)
- Water pots
- Drawing board and block of wood or table easel
- Clips or tape to attach paper

For some sessions tinted paper either heavy pastel or watercolour paper would be good.

Some paper will be available from the tutor at cost.
