Easy Background Washes Calliclass
Saturday 2nd May. 1pm to 4pm at Primrose Park, Matora Lane, Cremorne.
Today we will play with some very easy and quick background washes that can become a background to a calligraphic piece, or turned into cards if the end result isn’t what you expected. This is a fun, play day open to all members.
You will need: A3 or A4 watercolour 300gsm hot press paper, brand doesn’t matter, and paper from a $2.00 shop works well enough for this exercise.
A large brush is essential for applying a wash, a HAKE if you can get one but if not, a square brush at least 2.5cm wide, or a large round brush (approx. size 20) will be fine. Tube watercolours, & again they can come from a $2.00 shop (at this stage we’re not too concerned about pigment quality) but if you do have good quality paints try to limit them to series 1 for this exercise. Some largish shallow mixing dishes, Chinese type sauce dishes about 9cm across are ideal, bring several. Two water jars, and paper towel or rags for cleaning up. A plastic cloth for the table as well please. A roll of cling film, and an old toothbrush. I will bring rock salt and urea crystals for you to use.
