Jenny Hunt - drawing / watercolour
Jenny is an AiP member - we are looking forward to her workshop and demonstration on her wonderfully distinctive work.
Demonstration and workshop of her sketchbook style, featuring the Dorset Coast, based on three published books which have been created to mimic original sketchbooks. The media used in the illustrations are ink and watercolour.
In addition to pencils and a putty rubber, participants will need to bring a black fine-liner (0.005 or 0.1) which is water-resistant (ideally a Pigma Micron archival pen), watercolour paper (I use Daler/Rowney Aquafine cold pressed 300gm) and watercolours. They will also need clear photographic reference of a beach scene and a selection of shells, pebbles, seaweed or other found objects from the tide-line.
