Harold Allanson watercolour
(Although Harold's paintings are very detailed, the demo he did for us was loose and luscious. His goal is not to have you paint like he does, but to learn to handle the medium.)

Workshop Description
REFLECTIONS: Oceans Lakes, Ponds and Puddles or, for that matter, any other surface that reflects an image!
This workshop is about advancing your skills as a watercolour artist, the best uses of the medium combined with composition and design. It’s not about drawing, drawing is another class for another day.
Beginner to advanced, you’re all welcome. There’ll be a place for everyone and you’ll only be challenged at your own skill level. Fun is a key element in my workshops, I believe little is learned in stressful situations. I like a relaxed environment and hope you do as well.
Please bring your own reference material: images you’ve photographed yourself or those taken by friends or family and you’ve their permission to use. Please no calendar, magazine photos or images down loaded from the internet. If you don’t have reference material of your own I’ll have a selection of images you can choose from.
I usually do short demos 3 or 4 times a day. I won’t bore you with long talks and laughter’s allowed.
I like starting everyone off together. Some of you will be more experienced or work faster than others, which will soon create space and time for me to get to know and work with you all individually.
feel free to contact me anytime. Harold
