"Sea of Light" Friday Morning 24th of Aug 10-11.45

Week 1 - 24th of Aug "Sea of Light"

Our first week back is all about getting the brushes moving again.

This painting is a wonderful way to ease back into watercolour, focusing on colour, atmosphere and enjoying the process. We'll spend time looking at the beautiful sky, blending vibrant colours together and creating those glowing transitions that make sunsets so captivating.

We'll also explore reflections in the water, thinking about how colour can be carried through a painting to create harmony and light. There'll be opportunities to add as much or as little detail as you like, particularly in the shoreline and rocks, allowing you to simplify areas or build them up to suit your own style.

The reference photograph has been chosen deliberately. Rather than copying every detail, we'll use it as inspiration, encouraging you to pick out the colours, shapes and atmosphere that speak to you and interpret them in your own way.

This is a lovely painting to help rebuild confidence, loosen up after the summer break and remind ourselves just how expressive watercolour can be. It's all about colour, light and creating a painting that feels uniquely yours.
