Friday 10th Oct, 10am-4pm
‘Autumn Trees’
sketching with black gutta

My workshop will be ‘Autumn Birches’.
We will be using iron-set silk paints and overpainting with a mix of fabric paints and acrylics, to create the rich colours of Autumn.
A lovely light-handed method of using gutta as you would sketching with a pencil.
This is done after painting the silk, to outline your work and pick out all the detail.

Saturday 11th Oct 10am-4pm.
‘Summer Meadow’
using layering techniques

This workshop will give a new approach to silk painting, using cold wax to mask out areas, applying colour
mixed with no flow before painting
in a loosely water-colour style.
Finishing with more colour mixed with No Flow,
then stems and grasses applied to enhance
and define the final image.
