Watercolour Techniques The Easy Way!
This is SUCH a relaxing workshop where, together, we will be creating a glorious collection of winter wear to decorate cards, labels and stationary.
You will learn the basic method which is so easy and I'll then take you through loads of lovely variations and lots of different card design ideas to which you can apply your illustrated knitted knickers...or other garments!
Includes Step-By-Step Instructions, Tips, Tricks & Cheats!
You may choose to focus on illustrating different versions of one item (socks, bobble hats, jumpers etc) or create a whole festive washing line!
Fun, Friendly and Relaxing
Choose to create a sketchbook page full of illustrated knitwear or cut out, collage and use on greeting cards or labels
If you're new to drawing and painting, don't worry, I'll take through every stage giving you loads of tips and advice. You'll learn how to draw each element by sketching simple shapes... but there is also a tracing option too (...our little secret!)
This is a really relaxing and addictive project which is perfect for pottering with during the winter evenings. Get your wooly socks on, light the fire and get some festive nibbles on the go...perfect!
All experience levels are welcome!

Thank you for the workshop, Lucia, and for the lesson. It was an epiphany...the permission to use artistic licence! I do love your sheet of little pictures, just like I do the lettering sheets...thank you for the spur to start again a daily art practice.

Just to let you know, there is a person/student out here, one of many I'm sure, who is having just the best time. Thank you for sharing your art, your talent and your teaching is the best. I'm 74, retired this year and was looking for something new to learn. I have done Calligraphy for a long time and always wanted to add color to some of the pieces I work on. watercolor seemed to be the best fit, however not many in my area want to teach on a beginner level. I am not one to become disheartened easily so I continued my search. Then as luck would have it, I found your site. I went through page after page and in the end, decided it offered exactly what I was looking for and was at my finger tips all the time.
So thank you as you have rekindled a spark that was there, but needed a little push. I'm excited, thrilled, and thoroughly enjoying myself !
Lucia Leyfield
Lucia is an artist, letterer and teacher who loves creating illustrated journals and artist books. She has become known for a unique and creative approach to her work which has been described as 'quietly joyful...a nostalgic, moving and profound ...a treasure chest of creativity and inspiration'
Her journals and sketchbooks, which record life as it happens, conversations, inspirations and experiments, have become works of art in their own right. Many of Lucia's sketchbooks are handmade with a range of papers and combine traditional and experimental hand lettering with watercolour, collage and mixed media sketches.
She is inspired by a diverse range of things: the old, rusty and wonky, worn architectural patinas, ancient diagrams, aged buildings, old books and ephemera, explorers' sketchbooks and vintage field guides.
