About

This 3-hour  workshop, led by artist Helen Bullock McFarland, will include specially bought pigments and equipment to help you learn the process of making pigment into paint to produce your own unique water-based colour palette. Each participant will take home a watercolour box, a full set of paints, and a small sketch book.

During the workshop, you will discover the traditional processes by which pigments are extracted from natural sources and find out how these can be transformed using traditional mediums from nature. Using traditional formulas practiced by artists throughout the ages, you will produce paints suitable for painting watercolours and egg tempera using ground pigments.

All essential materials will be provided, though you may wish to bring along your own preferred paint brushes, sketchbooks and aprons.
The workshop is suitable for artists that wish to develop their practice.

Once purchased non non-transferable and non-refundable.
