Abstract Watercolour Workshop

Recently we held our first Abstract Watercolour Workshops here at The Corner Store Gallery. A small group of students were taught the basics of watercolour and created their own abstract artworks. We made colour charts, colour swatches to inform our final works, practised different blending techniques, mark-making and some other experimental exercises.

The students were all taken through some specific exercises to create miniature abstract artworks in their own colour palettes. There was then plenty of time for play and experimentation at the end of the class which is daunting for some.

Overall some beautiful work was made and we all had a fun and relaxing few hours using this unpredictable medium.

“This workshop was great. Even though I'm experienced in using watercolours, I had never learnt the basics and this workshop actually taught me some very useful techniques such as how to set out a square of all the colours you can make with your palette. Maddie was an awesome teacher and created a really nice environment for us to work in.”
