QoR Watercolours & Surface Grounds: Expanding the Boundaries of Creativity!
QoR Watercolours & Surface Grounds: Expanding the Boundaries of Creativity!
Join us for a creative mini-workshop to explore a modern twist on a traditional medium. GOLDEN’s QoR Watercolours offer artists more of what they seek: greater colour vibrancy, increased intensity, enhanced strength, and versatile application—perfect for plein air painting, urban sketching, or studio work.
Opus staff will guide you through a hands-on demonstration using the QoR Watercolour Urban Sketch Set, which includes six vibrant colours, alongside various QoR Watercolour Grounds. These absorbent surface grounds can be applied to a range of surfaces, expanding creative possibilities. The QoR Urban Sketch Set features a beautiful selection of pigments and comes with six empty palettes for further personalization.
Your host from Opus will be available to answer any questions you may have about filling an empty pan, applying your surface grounds, and finishing your watercolours with varnish.
This event is designed to inspire you and expand your understanding of colour, surface, and creative flow, making it ideal for artists at all skill levels!
