Workshop Information

Course Outline

We will use watercolour to paint a selection of small motifs that relate to the Leathersellers’ Company. After some preliminary exercises you will design and paint a pattern, border or spot illustration using these motifs. We will use the surroundings of Leathersellers’ hall for inspiration, as well as some of the wonderful objects in the Leathersellers’ Company Archive. As well as painting your design, you will learn colour-mixing techniques and how to use miniature paint brushes to achieve fine detail.

 

This workshop will be run by the highly experienced Creative Dimension Trust tutor Sarah Hocombe. Sarah is a fresco painter and illustrator, with a special interest in silhouettes. Her illustration work has featured on products for well-known brands. Sarah is an experienced Creative Dimension Trust Tutor, and was a Visiting Lecturer at UAL for many years.
