- buy anything from the Home Shop Catalogue Issue 94 & get ' Creating Texture in Pen & Ink with Watercolour (Double Disc DVD) with Claudia Nice' for £4.99.
The combination of the boldness of pen & ink, the subtle qualities of watercolour & the creation of texture are only as limited as your imagination.
Part 1
Follow Claudia as she expertly demonstrates a range of textural techniques such as contour lines in a smooth onion, a manor house in the background with parallel lines, jagged & smooth rocks with cross-hatching, a velvety African violet with stippling & hot chilly peppers with a scribbly line. You'll understand the bold contrast of light against dark tones, before the entire pen & ink skills are brought together in a dramatic seascape with watercolour.
Part 2
You'll add even more great textural techniques to your existing knowledge. You'll learn how to create criss-cross lines for soft fur, wavy lines that imitate wood grain, how sand can be added to paint to help create rust & even how a kitchen sponge can be used to make a pebbly beach. Brush techniques are introduced, such as dancing a brush over the sky to create clouds & for a grand finale, Claudia combines all of the techniques learnt in the two videos into a beautiful painting of a soft & gentle cat. The techniques are simple, but it does take time to create texture. You'll need plenty of practice, patience & perseverance, but the results are definitely worth it!
