Nancy Tichborne teaches Watercolours 1

Nancy Tichborne's floral work features in calendars, books, cards and magazines. She used to run watercolour workshops, which were extremely popular. This DVD, her first, is based on those classes.
In it she outlines materials, explains and demonstrates what is to her the very essence of watercolours, and goes on to show the techniques she employs to achieve luminosity and depth of colour. The effect light has on a subject is all important to her and she goes to great lengths to show how to avoid "muddiness" and to create the clarity and purity she herself strives for.
This one and a half hour DVD will appeal to both beginners and experienced watercolorists - sections of it will be referred to time and time again... Nancy's enthusiasm for the medium is infectious and she hopes it will inspire others to participate in and enjoy the art of watercolours.
