Whilst some will want to paint a botanical study we shall also be exploring applying background washes and a looser approach to painting flowers.
Both hot pressed and not paper is available to purchase on the day.
Plants will be supplied but please feel free to bring along your own.
Requirements. The following list is a guide for beginners as I am sure that the more experienced painters will have their own preferences for brushes and paint:
Paints
Ultramarine and cobalt blue
Windsor Lemon and Windsor Yellow
Permanent Mauve and Permanent Rose
Burnt Sienna

It is very hard to suggest colours due to plant availability so please bring along what you have. I am more than happy to share mine if necessary.
