From Practice to Painting: Building Your First Complete Watercolor

Sunday 17 May
Alameda Crown Beach - 1pm - 2.0 Hours
Oakland Watercolor Group
Scott
Move beyond practice exercises and focus on building a complete watercolor painting from start to finish. In this session, you will learn to layer washes, develop simple compositions, and transition into a more expressive approach using water and texture. Working outdoors, the goal is to help you gain confidence in your technical decisions and trust the medium's natural behavior. This workshop is the perfect next step for those who have explored the basics and want to refine their process.

Title or Location: Various illustrations
Painted by Sheila Biggins.After being an amazing pencil artist in her early years, art fell to the wayside. Now, at the age of 80, Sheila decided to give art 'another go'.This picture is close to her heart and the inspiration was the book, The Railway Children. Sheila's main art style is the North East and memories of her childhood growing up in pit villages, which is represented in many areas of her work.

Title or Location: Peony talk
?Peony talk? was inspired by a quiet moment during burnout. Resting in stillness, I found calm and quiet strength while gazing at peonies. Free from distractions, I painted this work as a reflection of rest and inner peace.
