Sue Williams gave a wonderful demonstration of how to paint watercolour with a limited pallet. She engaged the audience, was informative & amusing in equal measure. Talking about painting out in all weathers with John Shave & The Wapping Group & about filming for the SAA.
Amazingly she painted three different subjects with three different pallets. The first a Thames Scene on an oatmeal tinted paper, in Permanent Rose, Windsor Blue & Burnt Umber. The second on green tinted paper, an Iris in Quinacridone Magenta, (I think)Windsor Green & Indian Yellow. The third a Norfolk snow scene on blue tinted paper using just French Ultramarine Blue & Light Red.
Remarkably she talked throughout about the qualities of each different colour, whether it was transparent, staining or could be lifted & still ended up with three very nice paintings. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.
Unfortunately I forgot my camera amongst other things but here are some of her paintings, that can be found on the SAA website
