There will be a commission to MTAS of 25% for all sold works.

I will keep you posted over the next few days on updated further details of artwork delivery dates/times, rosters etc.

The workshop will involve producing townscapes  using a variety of dry and wet media. Working on ½ and full sheets of watercolour paper, Lesley and Joe will use step by step demonstrations to build layers of tone, colour and line. The main structure and design of each piece of work will be the application of dramatic, dark tones using watercolour.  Workshop attendees may choose to use watercolour or acrylic as watercolour. 

Hope to see you there!
