Susan Boddy was with us in Colchester looking at atmosphere and tone in watercolour landscapes. Susan spent a lot of time demonstrating for the students and speaking about colour mixing and the students then worked on Bockingford paper for their practise pieces and Arches paper for their end pieces.

Here are the students at the end of the day with their brilliant paintings!

Susan has a couple more workshops coming up with us on Saturday  16th March – Wet into Wet Flowers in Acrylic Inks and Saturday 30th March – Introducing Mixed Media into Watercolour but will then be taking a break from teaching with us until later in the year.
