Big Skies in Watercolour – Dawn to Dusk
Thursday 26th March 2026, 10.00 – 4.00, £130
Ardington School of Arts, The Victory Room Bucklebury Reading RG7 6PS
The sky never stays the same for more than a second—how do you catch it on paper? We’ll spend the day looking at how light changes the mood of a scene, moving from the subtle, desaturated tones of early morning to the dramatic, fiery values of the evening. Through clear demonstrations and guided exercises, you’ll develop a toolkit of adaptable techniques to paint many different skies.
The Dawn Palette: Cool tones and soft-edge transitions.
Midday Dynamics: Managing high-sun contrast and “hard” cloud edges
Sunset Mastery: Layering warm glazes without lifting the base.
I teach all abilities – those that are already painting and would like to improve their skills and beginners that have just discovered their love of painting. Each workshop covers a specific subject in which I teach various techniques that you can transfer to other subjects in your art practice. You will be learning in a friendly environment in a small group (maximum of 10), so that you receive plenty of attention and learn at you own pace. If you would like to come along to any of them, please email me at art@elizabethbaldin.co.uk.
