Robert Wade's Watercolour Workshop
CODE VD1041

In this film Bob takes us through many of the elements of watercolour painting, working on simple studio demonstrations that are then fully explained in on-site paintings. Tonal values, colour mixing, glazes, wet into wet, skies, figures and more are all covered in a fun, simple manner. Filmed in Australia, Bob's subjects include the courtyard fountain outside his studio as well as the wonderful scenery of the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne. Here he paints two views of a barn, creating a different mood in each. At the point of the peninsula he paints several views on a divided sheet of paper, and he paints rock formations on the surf beach at Gunnamma. This film complements his book Robert Wade’s Watercolour Workshop Handbook
