Watercolour Days in the UK

3 SUMMER, 1 DAY workshop days painting in Watercolours with ISABEL CARMONA, in UK

Join Isabel Carmona painting in watercolour this summer 2025.  Learn with her, painting on beautiful locations about colour, light and mark making in watercolours. Get confident about mixing colours (colour theory), overlaying washes and describing textures, painting different locations and capture the spirit of the place.

We will explore various techniques – colour first is Isabel favourite technique, but we will also explore ink and wash techniques.

Enjoy being able to capture the places that you visit on your sketchbook and keep them as memories of the experience of the place. Each day will be broken into a morning and afternoon session and during each session we’ll start with some quick exercises to then settle onto a larger /longer painting.
