T1 The Dancing Brush – Watercolour

Course Description

This course is for intermediate watercolour artists to build on previous skills. Emphasis will be on washes, tone, composition, colour, drawing and harmony. We will explore all the amazing techniques that watercolour allows us to use and incorporate into our own styles. Jane will start with a demonstration painting, students will then have a go at that subject receiving support along the way. The class will end with a supportive group evaluation and feedback on their paintings. About the Tutor: Jane Zandi was born in Tasmania and now lives in Perth. She has been painting for over 12 years and the last five years regularly en plein air. This has resulted in a passion for getting the light just right while on site and then taking that lightness into her studio paintings. Regular attendance at watercolour workshops held by local, national and international artists has helped her develop her own personal style. Jane is a member of Perth Plein Air Painters and goes outdoors to paint with them as often as possible.
