Cityscapes in watercolour with Kasper Zier
Materials provided. Lunch Break is from 1-2pm (Lunch is not included).
€75

Class size limited to 12 people. All levels welcome.

In this introductory workshop participants will learn how to create an urban cityscape in watercolour. The workshop will be based on a 3-part demonstration where artist Kasper Zier will show a variety of watercolour techniques. After each demonstration Kasper will assist the students with their work. Participants will be working from reference photos during the class.

Throughout the workshop the following areas will be covered.

• How a value study can help simplify the scene

• The importance of having a focal point in the painting.

• The value of connecting shapes in the painting.

• Techniques to adjusting the final painting by lifting paint in certain areas

All of this and more will be delivered through demonstrations and personalised attention.

About the Artist:

Kasper Zier is an award winning watercolour artist living and working in Dublin. His watercolours are a mesmerising blend of realism and poetry, elevating the mundane into a dreamy quality. Using a masterful combination of clear colours, free expressive brushstrokes, and 'lost and found' edges, Kasper artfully captures the interplay of light on the city's buildings and streets. The end result is a unique painting full of atmosphere and character, carrying his personal touch and creating a lasting impression on the viewer. Kasper is a member of the The Water Colour Society of Ireland.
