Plein Air in Watercolour
Event Description
One of RBG’s Courses & Workshops
Learn the basics of Plein Air painting using watercolour media, by joining us for a two-day course, introducing the materials, equipment, and techniques used in Plein Air painting, on the beautiful grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens. This course will cover choosing your subject matter, composing a strong image, simplifying shapes for a dynamic composition, using effective colour schemes, and an overview of techniques to create sparkling and vivid effects. If you have a solid knowledge base of watercolour basics, join us for a fun and informative weekend that can take your landscape painting to the next level.
