Join Artist Michelle Dawson to celebrate the seasonal holly leaf. Michelle will demonstrate how to use different shades of green watercolour wet in wet to depict the colour and shine on the leaves.
She will then explain how highlights can be added using the lifting off technique as well as demonstrating how to achieve a spherical look to the berries.
There will be time to practice these techniques before choosing a sprig of holly to work from.
Working from direct observation you will then make a watercolour holly painting of your own to take home.
