USk Workshop: Light & White in Watercolour, Portugal 28th April - 4th May 2019

Dates: 

28th April-4th May 2019

Learning goals:

• Becoming confident with your watercolour
• Handling different techniques with ease and fluency
• Become familiar with classic techniques such as glazing and wet-on-wet 
• Avoiding common pitfalls

The location:

Portugal's Algarve region is well known for its beautiful beaches, great food and balmy climate. We'll stay in two special places during this week-long workshop.

Armaçao de Pera is a fishing village along the south coast with a pristine, long sandy beach. 

Aldeia de Pedralva is a restored village near Sagres on the west coast of the Algarve. 

Our trip will take us to both villages and we will explore the region around each during the workshop.

The workshop:

We all know how beautiful watercolour can look, but sometimes it feels as if that beauty is out of reach. Streaky surfaces, muddy finishes and a total absence of the glorious transparency we see others producing.

In this workshop, you will learn lots of simple techniques that will allow you to master watercolour in a way that is simple and easy to access, in the warmth and beauty of Portugal's Algarve region.

Accommodation and Meals:

Accommodation is included in the cost. There will be three nights at the Holiday Inn in Armaçao de Pera and three nights in the restored village of Aldeia da Pedralva. All rooms are single occupancy unless otherwise requested.

Breakfast and dinners are also included but lunch is at the participants' own expense.

Each evening you will be asked to extend your day's learning by half an hour and practice the technique of the day on a bottle or glass over dinner! 

Day 1: 

The basics of using watercolour: how much water you'll need. 

Sketching on the first evening will include dry brush techniques, wet-on-wet and avoiding visible brushstrokes. We'll relax along the promenade and sketch the world-famous sunset using a variety of techniques to capture the sparkle of sunlight on water and a sky full of colour.

Day 2: 

We will relax around Armaçao de Pera, sketching the boats bringing in the catch and the typical bustling Algarve village of Armaçao, including the old town. 

Today we will practice glazing techniques and how to achieve deep and rich results in watercolour. 

Day 3:

We will travel to Aldeia da Pedralva and explore techniques for mixing colours, using wet-one-wet and colour-popping. We will study reflections in water, light hitting objects such as wet pebbles in the sand, and shadows on a wet beach.

Day 4: 

In the morning we will explore creative colouring techniques and the power of values in watercolour, becoming familiar with blues and how they can be used to convey light and shadow.

Day 5:
How the white of the page can make buildings glow, and how it can be used for foliage to convey light hitting the tops of trees. We will make quick studies of trees, clouds and reflections.

Day 6: 
Warm and cold colours: the power of a limited palette. How to avoid clashing colours.

Cost:

The cost of the workshop is €1850.

Included: Accommodation, breakfast and dinner, travel within the workshop and tuition over six days.

Not included are alcoholic beverages, lunch and non-sketching travelling companions although they are most welcome to join us.
