Knysna: Beyond the Watercolour Splash Workshop with Bev (29 Aug ’26)
In this exciting workshop we’ll throw caution to the wind as we create beautiful, spontaneous
watercolour splashes down in areas that represent the subject. Using observation, imagination and a little artistic guidance, you’ll transform loose washes into a vibrant portrait with pen and watercolour.
There are no mistake, only opportunities waiting to be discovered. Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, this workshop encourages freedom, creativity and learning to trust the artistic process.
You’ll leave not only with a unique painting but with a completely different way of looking at watercolour.
What you will learn:
In this class you will learn the exciting ways of applying watercolour and ink through the different basic techniques. Each attendee will complete a unique expressive painting using watercolour splashes and fine
liners.
