CRAWSHAW'S WATERCOLOUR STUDIO
8 x 30'
Watercolours are the most popular medium among leisure painters and this series follows on naturally from A Brush With Art. In each
programme, Alwyn finds a subject to paint on location and then, back in his studio, demonstrates some more advanced techniques while completing a picture of the scene visited at the beginning of the programme.
Programme 1 Painting The Seasons
Using the same sketch done on location, Alwyn demonstrates how to paint the four seasons from one sketch.
Programme 2 Small Sketches
Small objects can be just as enjoyable to sketch as larger subjects, and can bring back memories of a
place just as well as a complete picture. An eighteenth century cast iron lamp and some lock gates are just some of the items Alwyn draws and paints in this programme.
Programme 3 Using Photographs
Sometimes it's not practical to paint a scene on location, but a photograph can provide you with
inspiration. In this programme, Alwyn paints a cruise ship and crowded dock, using a photograph taken on holiday.
Programme 4 Painting Skies
Skies offer endless possibilities for painters to try different techniques and colours - dark, stormy skies,
bright, sunny skies, cloudy skies, skies at dawn - Alwyn paints a variety of skies in this programme.
Programme 5 Painting from Imagination
Sitting in his studio on a bright summer's day, Alwyn demonstrates how to paint a snowy winter scene.
Programme 6 Creating Atmosphere
Using the same sketch of a beach, Alwyn paints different versions of the scene to demonstrate how using
different colours and techniques it is possible to create totally different atmospheres.
Programme 7 In the Garden
Gardens and flowers are favourite subjects for painters and Alwyn creates a picture using gouache, an opaque water-based paint that he has not used in his programmes before.
Programme 8 Painting Landscapes
In this programme, Alwyn introduces another new medium, acrylic paint, and creates an autumnal landscape to demonstrate acrylic's unique qualities.
