Getting the Most out of Your Watercolour Palette with Anna Altwein
August 22, 2020
Description
Join Anna as she introduces how to consider the fascinating characteristics watercolours while building a palette ideal for your artistic practice. Using Opus’ newly launched Essential Watercolour Mini Half-Pan Tin Set, she will demonstrate and explain four 12-colour sample palettes thoughtfully tailored towards maximum mixability, landscapes, botanicals, and portrait painting. Through swatching, tips and tricks, and universal colour mixing theory, she will share her holistic approach to getting the most out of your watercolour palette. Discussion topics will include, but are not limited to, single pigment colours vs. multi-pigment convenience colours, mixability, transparency, granulation, and more. Questions are encouraged and notetaking supplies are suggested!
