Margarida Ornelas
This event took place in Cascais , in a studio in Hotel Baía in front of Cascais Bay.
Workshop’s plan:
Discover the famous technique of traveling watercolourist!
How many times have you got your breath taken by the beauty of sea waves? And how many times you wanted to paint sails, light and colours of the surface, all these sailing ropes, fishing tackle?
We will approach painting “seascapes” in watercolour in four stages – waves, reflections, boat and details.
Workshop’s plan:
Analysis of important characteristics of watercolour that are critical for expressing water when painting in the alla prima technique – one layer of watercolor on paper.
Look at several levels of complexities about a subject such as the sea, different types of reflections and refractions, search for light and contrast. Learn what to pay attention to when choosing the right composition and how to find a subject on location, in the harbor and along the coast line. Practice the structure of waves and work with volume and dimensions of water. Complete our first watercolour – wet in wet wash of the sea.
