Watercolour plein air painting sessions - in London!

A partir de 33.78 $ /h

Apart from being one of the oldest forms of self-expression, drawing and painting is scientifically proven to enhance brain function, raise serotonin levels, relax the nervous system and therefore improve our general well-being. Watercolor painting is particularly therapeutic as we explore the properties of watercolors through mark-making techniques which we can later apply in our more elaborate paintings. Even if you are a complete beginner with a 'can't do' attitude, I will guide you through the process of selecting a subject, doing an initial sketch, mixing colors, and applying some of the techniques we explored in the first stages of our class.

At present, I only offer outdoor sketching and painting sessions around London parks and green spaces. It's also a very enjoyable way of appreciating nature while learning a new skill. I will help you set up your easel if you are using one and help you set up for a successful outdoor session. When working outdoors weather conditions are often not ideal, wind, rain, too hot, too cold..etc. I will help you work with the elements which might just produce some of your best work as you work faster and more freely. There is nothing like capturing the atmosphere of a place on location. By working en plein air you are also telling a visual story of the place.

Ideal for visual storytellers, illustrators, bloggers, or anyone interested in gaining more confidence painting on location. I recommend a minimum of 2-hour session. Longer sessions can be arranged also.
Sessions can be booked in advance.

Bring your own papers, paints, brushes and everything else that you may need for an outdoor painting session. If you need help with a list of what you'll need, please contact me prior to the class.

Acerca de mí

For me a successful workshop is when the student leaves the class feeling uplifted and full of enthusiasm to create more art. My classes are informal and fun. As we are all inspired by different things, I let the student choose the subject which will help him or her to stay motivated and focused throughout the process of painting. I love passing on all the little tips and tricks of my craft that took me decades to master. I have a loose approach to watercolour painting which will guarantee quick and impressive results.

Formación

I studied BTec Art & Design in Wimbledon School of Art and then BA (Hons) Illustration in the 90s and early 2000's in London. I also took short courses in textile design and various other crafts throughout the years. I am entirely self-taught in watercolour painting.

Experiencia / Calificaciones

I've been teaching drawing and watercolour painting since 2012. I'm also a professional watercolorist practising this beautiful craft for some 15 years. From time to time I take part in art competitions and have appeared in British art publications. I also organise painting holidays to various locations in the world where I teach plein air sketching and painting.

I am a researching collaborator in power electronics and I studied a master's degree in industrial engineering. I love to teach everything I have learned, in a structured and methodical way. I tutor mainly math, physics and mechanics at every level but don't hesitate to ask for some subject more specialized.

Create with Love...the process is the best part of it!

I'm Cecilia, a Mexican artist who loves to explore new creative avenues whenever I can. For as long as I can remember, my life's passion (and a challenge) is experimenting with colours and materials using life and culture as an inspiration!

I offer art workshops in drawing and painting for kids 5-12 and adults. During my classes I include practical and theoretical exploration of art. I will give you an in depth look into my favourite art supplies and how to use them properly, you will learn different techniques and fun new ways to use your paints mixed with other mediums and supplies. Painting can be intimidating, but it can be easy and fun with my simple direction!

I am an architectural assistant and hold a Masters degree in Architecture. Having a strong passion towards art and human behaviour has led me to shaping haptic spaces to enable a journey full of encounters. I believe our subconsciousness can be expressed through bodily movements that can initiate with the mere moment of grabbing a pencil or a brush. As a result, my class explores the poetry behind art and its essence. My teaching method revolves around finding an individual's inner characteristics and conveying this into an expressive art form.

My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. During my class, different mediums will be tested to ignite creativity.

As a result of my profession, my classes can involve digital design involving Photoshop and Illustrator. It is important to be able to understand both 2D and 3D forms and so, my teaching method can include both aspects.
