SUMMARY:Sunlight & Shadows: Watercolour
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £33 → \nLight is the real subject. The wall\, the street\, the water — those are just what the light happens to be falling on\, and once you start seeing it that way\, everything gets simpler. \nThis is three hours of short\, focused exercises rather than one long painting. Each one hands you a specific tool: \n\nDeciding your lights first — protecting the whites before the first wash\, so the glow is built in rather than rescued later.\nShadows with colour in them — why a shadow is never grey\, how warm light throws cool shadow (and the other way round)\, and how to mix one that stays luminous instead of muddy.\nValue before detail — getting the three-tone structure right so the picture reads from across the room. Most paintings that “don’t work” fail here.\nEdges that let the light move — where to let an edge dissolve and where to keep it crisp\, so sunlight looks like it’s actually happening.\nReflected light — the bounce that stops a shadow side going dead.\n\nYou’ll leave with the exercises themselves\, which are worth repeating at home\, and a way of looking at any scene that tells you what to paint and what to leave out. \nSuitable for anyone comfortable holding a brush — you don’t need to have painted light deliberately before. Nothing to bring: all materials and brushes are provided\, and there’s tea\, coffee and cake throughout. \nCome for this alone at £20\, or pair it with Watercolour Essentials that morning for £32 the two. \nBook your place →

SUMMARY:Art in Nature: Watercolour
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £35 → \nWe will illustrate the beauty of nature\, visiting botanicals and animals and incorporating them into an illustrated watercolour trail map highlighting where you saw them and as a fun guide or gift for family and friends who may visit you. Please encourage them to follow your trail and look for the illustrated wildlife\, plants and flowers. By the end of the day\, we will have developed the structure and outline for your trail map\, illustrated many elements and covered techniques to bring them together as one finished piece\, whether collaged or digitally stitched! No previous experience is necessary\, but some watercolour confidence would be helpful. Treat yourself to this fantastically priced workshop today. \nThe day will be full of fast learning exercises and mini-tutorials to entertain and move you forward at a good pace\, making great strides in your watercolour confidence and your finished trail map. \n\nFlorals\, leaves and trees\nAnimal Feathers\, Fur and Textures\nCreating patterns\nWatercolour textures\nMap / trail composition\n\n“It would be useful for you to pull together photos and images of both the wildlife and places you would like to incoporate into your trail map. Artistic license is allowed! Is your trail near a village or scenic point of note? Great! Lets capture that in the map too. Don’t see foxes often but know they are there on your trail? No problem lets pop a fox into the map too! It will be all about enjoying the process and the subject matter. Set yourself up to win with some interesting elements from the natural world to hand as references. 🙂 “ \nBook your place →

SUMMARY:Children’s Book Workshop · Series 5 — Autumn
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £160 → \nDates in this series:Friday 23 October\, 9:00amFriday 30 October\, 9:00amFriday 6 November\, 9:00amFriday 13 November\, 9:00amFriday 20 November\, 9:00amFriday 4 December\, 9:00amFriday 18 December\, 9:00am \nFive Friday mornings to take your picture book from an idea to work you are proud to show. Character\, story shape\, the page turn\, and the art that carries it — with a fortnight between each session to draw. \nFridays 09:00–13:00 — 23 and 30 October\, then 6\, 13 and 20 November — at the Cornish Craft Barn. £160 for the series of five\, which is £32 a morning\, and your monthly meet-up is included free. \nWhy a fortnight and not a week. The work happens between the sessions. A week is enough to start a page and not enough to finish one\, and the people who got the most out of the last run were the ones who had time to sit with it. Two weeks is that time. \n\nWeek one\, 23 October — set the scene. Gear up\, get your project files together\, and build them with the rest of the group.\n30 October — develop your work in earnest. Ensure your storybook dummy is complete and work has begun on words and spreads.\n6 November — the monthly meet-up\, included. You meet people who have done the Children’s Book Workshop before: their inspiration\, their advice\, and what they wish they had known at week one.\n13 and 20 November — develop your work in earnest\, folding in the next steps between each.\nThen show it. You bring what you have made to the next monthly meet-up\, and show your new Children’s Book friends.\n\n\nEight seats\, beginners and improvers together.\nA short materials list before you start\, and a starter kit at cost if you would rather not buy your own yet.\nA one-page recap each session with the demonstration photos\, and the group’s own album.\nFirst refusal on Series 6 before it goes public.\n\nThe ladder: an Essentials half-day is the taster; a Series is where you get properly better at one thing; Studio mornings are the room to keep working in. \nBook your place →
