Art beyond normal! Join John in an inspirational art workshop recording our streets in these strange times through snapshot photography and painting. We will make ink and colour wash paintings, punctuated with the signs of how slightly differently we now navigate our world in 2020 – such as those which say ‘keep your distance’, reminders to wear face masks, and even the rainbows thanking our NHS and so on. In this video John will demonstrate how to do this and then to paint it using watercolour paints, so even if you haven’t picked a paint brush up for a long time you will be able to create a beautiful and meaningful painting.

Materials: Mobile phone / camera / sketchbook, Watercolour paper A4/A3 or any thick paper will work. 250 – 350gsm, Pencil / Propelling pencil, Eraser Fineline felt tip pen (preferably water resistant), Watercolour Paints – tube or palette, Variety of watercolour brushes square / round.
