WATER & COLOUR - Abstract Watercolour Class

Sealanes, Marine Parade, Brighton

10:30 - 15:30 (5 hrs)

£75 all materials included


In this workshop we won't really be painting 'a thing' so it is really great for any beginners with less to no drawing experience. It'll be a great way to gain an understanding of how colour actually works along side water, air, tempreture and so on. In the class we'll create a lovely sketchbook filled with experiments, textures and notes that we'll bind together at the end of the class. There'll also be time towards the end to do more finalised pages separate from the sketchbook.

Testimonials

“I started going to these watercolour classes last July on a whim, having not done any painting since before my GCSE picks. It’s become an essential part of my week. Life is short. Take a chance.”

“Your watercolor class is the happiest time I've ever spent in Brighton. I think I'll keep thinking this class when I go back to Korea.”

I really enjoy the water colour classes in different venues - Waterstones, the Sidewinder and the Lanes.  It's a really entertaining and informative. Achievable as the techniques are demonstrated in a easy to understand manner.

Mural Process - 'Sea Library'

by Ginger Green • 3 October 2023
Mural Process - Sea Library Mural commissioned by Woodingdean Primary School, Brighton & Hove Completed July 2021 This mural was painted in a the new library area of a primary school which was going to be sea themed. My idea was to create lots of different worlds that the children could walk through, from deep sea to coral reefs. The mural is in the corridor area, just down from where all the books and reading area is. So when coming into the library, or walking to their next class the kids and the staff get to walk through a collaboration between the mural and the fish that the children painted hanging from the ceiling.

Mural Process - 'Pearls of Bliss'

by Ginger Green • 2 October 2023
Mural commissioned by the School of Philosophy and Economic Science, London. Completed on the 30th of July 2023. When I was asked to create something in this space, the client was open to the exact placement of the mural. So we walked around the room looking at the different walls to see what best would brighten up the space. In the end we chose the spot under the stairs because it is a bit of a 'dead space' which in my head just means somewhere that collects dust or that's a bit dark. The other thing about it is the walls kind of frame it either side which means when a mural is painted inside, it will create a kind of tank that you can step inside of, like going into a new world.
