During this workshop we will paint a series of four small studies of sweets in different stages of being unwrapped. We will use watercolours and either pen or pencil to add line work and details, plus a white pen for highlights. I suggest we work in a small concertina format, but if you prefer to work on four small sheets or paper or one larger piece of paper that’s fine.

What to bring:

• Watercolour paints – pans or tubes.
• Mixing palette or plate.
• Watercolour brushes – small round brushes are ideal, as the paintings will be quite small.
• Watercolour paper if required (see below).
• Water jar.
• Kitchen towel.
• Waterproof fine black pen.
• Pencil and eraser.
• Newspaper/table covering.

The following will be provided:

• Watercolour paper trimmed and folded into a four page concertina, one per person.
• Wrapped sweets to paint (and eat!). If you have your own favourite wrapped sweets please feel free to bring those.
• White POSCA paint pen for highlights. If you have your own please bring it.
• Coloured pencils.
• Coloured paper and fabric for backdrops.
• A hairdryer.

There will be an additional charge of £1 on the day for paper and other materials provided by the tutor.
