Some 250 people signed up for Thursday’s online Zoom teach-in with Sue Ford on the use of water-resistant techniques to enhance your paintings. And what fun the participants had, adding ingredients such as rock salt, masking fluid, gesso, gum arabic , and even washing-up liquid (dishwashing soap) to their watercolours to create vibrant effects. One of them emailed us afterwards: “That was a hoot. No pressure but just fun with experimenting.”
Our thanks to Sue, who stepped in at the last moment after Carl March had to cancel because of a family illness. Our thanks, too, all our participants, part of the Watermill’s growing ‘international ‘virtual painting club’, where people from all over the world get together to paint along with our expert tutors and to enjoy the convivial company of like-minded people.
Even if you were not able to enjoy Sue online, why not join her for her inspiring residential painting creative week at the Watermill this July? Nine people are already booked in, but we have room for a few more painters. Here are the dates and a link:
