SUMMARY:Crafting Conversation: The Artists Edition
DESCRIPTION:Image: Seville Oranges (detail) | Geoff Roderick 								\n				\n									A workshop in painting basics.In these sessions Geoff will be using water based artists quality Gouache (poster paint). Geoff sites five reasons for choosing this medium to teach.It is opaque\, (unlike watercolour which is transparent) this means freedom of expression as it’s easy to cover any marks not needed or wish to change. The tube colours are mixed with each other and white to create shades and tones (as  in oil painting) these exercises could lead a student on to other mediums such as oils or acrylics.It’s very quick drying. It is generally used on paper. It can be painted over immediately with other colours. It dries to a matt finish.It can be applied in different thicknesses over and over each colour\, making it easier to learn and experiment with colours\, shapes and composition.Being water based\, cleaning of brushes and any spills or drips on clothes will wash out easily.He has had 40 years experience with this beautiful painting medium.								\n				\n							\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									What Geoff will supply For initial classes he will supply: plastic palate\,brush\,prepared paper A4 sizeand\, Primary colours and white Gouache paints.He will also provide water glasses and rags for cleaning brushes.								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n									What you will learn We propose to set up a simple still life for the students to learn the elements of painting ie.
