Paint a Meadow in Watercolour and/or Pastel

Saturday 17th July

11.45 am to 3.45 pm

Online Workshop for Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, Maidenhead

Inspired by Renoir’s landscapes we‘ll paint a flower meadow.  Renoir painted several paintings that included meadows or gardens with meadow like plantings.

You may choose to work in watercolour alone or to make a watercolour underpainting before adding soft (chalk) pastel.  A watercolour under-painting or coloured paper can make a great surface to develop a landscape further in pastel.  Some photographic reference will be supplied ahead of the workshop or work from your own reference.
