Do you like the mix of ink and watercolour in line and wash? Are you an artist who likes to experiment with new techniques? Have you heard of ink resist?

Gouache wash off or ink resist, is an exciting technique where gouache is used to protect the paper from a coat of waterproof Indian ink. The whole creation is then washed and, indeed, scrubbed under running water. The end result is an image reminiscent of a wood block print.

In this course you will be taken through this exacting technique in a short warm up exercise, so that you can understand how it works and check that your materials can withstand the abuse of the process.

We will then work on the ancient landscape of the ancient Ridgeway path, which runs through the Chilterns. This is a full length demonstration of the entire process from planning, through to the big reveal and final adjustments.

This is the closest you can come to sitting alongside me in my studio and I will share as many tips and ideas as possible.
