BIRD PAINTING WORKSHOP.
18th January 2025, 10am-4pm
Exeter Community Centre.
Beginner and Elementary painters.
£35
Learn how to paint delicate watercolours of birds, using watercolour paint and fine liners. No experience necessary. This course is designed for beginners and elementary painters.
If you have never painted or drawn before, don’t worry! I will show you simple ways of achieving great results very easily. My expertise lies in simplifying techniques so students feel confident that they have achieved reachable goals without a struggle.
By the end of the day, students will have completed a finished watercolour painting of birds, and will be furnished with a full understanding of how to draw and paint birds for their continued self-directed learning at home.
I love to teach people to draw and paint. There is no mystery or special gift needed, just an understanding of the little tricks and techniques that everyone can learn.
