About
This workshop introduces participants to watercolour techniques for painting elements of nature, with a focus on the hoopoe, which occupies a special place in our environment and culture. Participants will learn drawing techniques and close observation, as well as various painting techniques such as washes, transparent layers, and dry brushing to accurately capture details of colour, texture, and form. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to master the steps of drawing and painting birds using traditional watercolour techniques and produce a realistic painting of a hoopoe.
