Barry & Lucy McCann

   
Watercolour Our Way    
Take advantage of two creative minds to assist you in inspiration and techniques using the watercolour medium. Lucy and Barry would like to pass on the information they wished they had been given, when they first started painting, and show you how they approach a painting.

They will teach you step by step methods with regular demonstrations, using a variety of subject matter and approaches. The course will cover such aspects as equipment and their use, basic art principals and elements including Design, Value, Colour, Shapes and Edges to give you the skills to not only produce a painting, but a piece of art.

This workshop is designed to get you to the next stage with your art and Lucy and Barry’s patience and individual attention will ensure an enjoyable experience.
