Understanding tonal value is essential for producing a convincing three-dimensional look in your subject. Not just the forms, but the illusions of different textures can also be achieved by understanding how light and shadow interact.

This Longan fruit workshop will challenge you to paint various textures, from the dull, rough, textured exocarp, to the "juicy" translucent mesocarp (flesh) of the fruit, and the glossy seeds. You will also learn to make the best of masking fluid and how to apply it without ruining your brush or painting.

When used correctly, vellum can create a wonderful luminance which sets it apart from paper substrates. Join this workshop to find out about the different types of vellums and their suitability for painting botanical subjects.

You will be taught how to prepare the vellum and the various watercolour techniques used on vellum will be demonstrated. You will work on your own small piece of vellum and at the end of the workshop you will have a painting underway which can be finished at home.
