This is a little watercolour boot camp, led by Jen Dixon in full army attire! It covers a range of useful basics, including colour, painting whites in watercolour, creating sharp shapes, and drawing steady lines. As Jen Dixon says, she loves exercises, and these were indeed quite fun to do. The interesting thing is that I felt I already knew most of these techniques – which is actually good news! Maybe I’m making more progress than I thought. Now I just need to put it all into practice. Go and paint, my girl!
“The exercises you’ve learnt will keep your skills sharp for a lifetime, but only if you keep practising. The truth in the old cliche, use it or lose it. So keep it up.”
