Helen showed us several other ideas but we were to concentrate on tissue paper. First of all boards were covered with gesso and crumpled tissue paper was carefully applied and then a further coat of gesso added on top. These were then left to dry.
Helen demonstrated the paint effects that could be achieved and we set to work.
Judith getting to grips with her underwater painting of seahorses and coral and a change of medium from watercolour to acrylic.
Jean produced a wonderfully atmospheric picture!
And finally Sylvia having a personal critique from Helen.
At the end of this most enjoyable session Helen held a final critique of everyone’s work. She felt the standard was very high considering it was technique that most of us had not done before and she hoped we would use this technique in future paintings.
Our next workshop tutor will be Paul Talbot Greaves on 2nd April showing us his own personal style with water colour.
We still have one or two places left please contact marianne@riverbankstudios.co.uk if you are interested.
