An Introduction to Alcohol Markers featuring Jimmy Leslie and the new Promarker sets!

Description

Join Winsor & Newton Resident Artist Jimmy Leslie for an introduction to the wonderful world of alcohol markers! In this fun demo, Jimmy will delve into essential alcohol marker techniques using the newly launched Winsor & Newton Promarker sets. All in the context of marker art, Jimmy will discuss colour choices, the importance of temperature and value, layering, and working from light to dark. He will also introduce attendees to the magic of using greys to both modulate overall colour and the beauty of underlay sketches. This will be a wonderful demonstration for anyone looking to try alcohol markers for the first time, refine their knowledge, or experience Jimmy’s inspiring teaching style themselves!
