Latrobe Art Space

Art in Paddington

The character-filled streets of Paddington provide artists with a vast array of subjects to draw, paint and photograph. Snapshot Storytelling loves nothing more than to showcase artists who find our workers cottages and historical buildings inspiring!

You will start in the Latrobe Art Space with some information on materials, colour, tone and techniques. There will be a demonstration on some of the “must know” techniques, which you will also experiment with. Next you will move outside and sketch a simple scene and put your brushes to the test! You will return to Latrobe Art Space and share your painting with the group and discuss all the wonderful brush strokes you have made.Venue: 	Latrobe Art SpaceWorkshop 1: 	10am Tuesday 20/9/22 Workshop 2: 	10am Thursday 22/9/22Cost: 	$70ObjectivesLearn the basic principles of watercolour technique, composition of sketch/painting colour theory and developing your own style.What you’ll needA board larger than A4, some practise watercolour paper, brushes (mop or large brush, mid-size &amp; small brush), any watercolours you own, a water container, paper towel, masking tape, fold up stool or chair &amp; backpack to carry (not far).ProvidedA basic palette of necessary colours, an A4 cotton watercolour sheet for your outside sketch/painting.This workshop is part of the Paddington Urban Art Exhibition, on show at the Latrobe Artspace from 20 - 24 September 2022.
