Watercolour and ink workshops
gweithdai lliw dŵr ac inc
My workshops are tailored to let you gain knowledge of ink & watercolour blending illustration & fine art - Tap into your artistic vision, self expression, and to help tell a story. Alongside the fun element, there is an opportunity to gain exploration, and have a sense of own agency & control - Emphasizing new skills in combining ink linework with watercolour washes, a sought-after technique.​
All workshops are set up ready to use, with experimental pieces and a final piece to take home.
Mae fy ngweithdai wedi’u teilwra i’ch galluogi i feistroli darlunio a chelf gain gan ddefnyddio inc a lliw dŵr – Cyfle i ddatgloi eich gweledigaeth artistig, hunanfynegiant, ac i helpu adrodd stori.
Yn ogystal â’r elfen hwyliog, mae’r gweithdai’n cynnig cyfle i archwilio dulliau newydd, ac i deimlo synnwyr o reolaeth bersonol – gan roi pwyslais ar ddatblygu sgiliau newydd wrth gyfuno gwaith llinell inc gyda golchiadau lliw dŵr, techneg boblogaidd a gwerthfawr.
Mae’r holl weithdai’n barod i’w defnyddio, gyda gwaith arbrofol a darn terfynol i fynd ag ef adref.

Course Lessons Summary:
-
Mark making skills and finding a comfortable use of ink whilst experimenting with line and shape.
-
Watercolour wet on wet/dry experiments then to combine a small spot illustration ink drawn structure with basic watercolour layers and techniques.
-
Using all of the techniques, and from gained confidence, create an A3 full bleed ink/painting from either a selected template piece of art to work from, or a composition of your own that means something to you.
-
Further final effects on the final piece with reflection, and a short session of self expression using ink/water & brush ( if there's time!)
​
Crynodeb Gwersi cwrs:
-
Sgiliau gwneud marciau a dod o hyd i ffordd gyfforddus o ddefnyddio inc wrth arbrofi gyda llinell a siâp.
-
Arbrofion lliwdy dŵr gwlyb ar wlyb/sych, ac yna cyfuno strwythur darluniad man bach wedi’i dynnu gydag inc gyda haenau a thechnegau sylfaenol lliwdy dŵr.
-
Gan ddefnyddio’r holl dechnegau, ac o ganlyniad i’r hyder a enillwyd, creu paentiad/llun inc llawn A3 (llawn tudalen) naill ai o ddarn celf templed a ddewiswyd, neu gyfansoddiad eich hun sy’n golygu rhywbeth i chi.
-
Effeithiau terfynol pellach ar y darn gorffenedig gyda myfyrdod, ac sesiwn fyr o hunan-fynegiant gan ddefnyddio inc/dŵr a brwsh (os oes amser!).

Canolbwynt Traddodiadol a Llaw-Drawn: Golygfeydd wedi’u lluniadu â llaw o leoedd adnabyddus neu archwilio dychymyg, ffantasi neu greu bydoedd trwy weledigaeth a rennir.
Customized instruction based on students skill levels and goals, whether they are beginners or advanced artists.
Cyfarwyddyd wedi’i deilwra yn seiliedig ar lefelau sgil a nodau’r myfyrwyr, boed yn ddechreuwyr neu’n artistiaid profiadol.
Structured techniques, from line drawing to watercolor layering and composition - with process pieces shown from my own portfolios, to show what can be done with the medium - what can be achieved.
Downloadable workshops TBC
Technegau strwythuredig, o luniadu llinellau i haenu dyfrlliwiau a chyfansoddiad – gyda darnau proses o’m portffolios fy hun i ddangos beth ellir ei gyflawni gyda’r cyfrwng – beth sy’n bosibl ei greu. Gweithdai y gellir eu lawrlwytho i’w cadarnhau.
