The Jackson’s Art shop in Gloucester hosted our first artist workshop a few weeks ago. It was so successful that we are now planning more events. The watercolour workshops Expressive Watercolour Inspired by Turner and Sea Mist Over a Harbour were led by Cornish artist Glyn Macey with materials provided by Winsor & Newton. Glyn gives us a summary of the art he demonstrated.
Winsor & Newton Watercolour Workshops
by Glyn Macey
Sea Mist Over a Harbour
When working fast and loose, often wild landscapes create the best subjects. In this instance the dramatic cliff-side mining ruins of Crowns Mine in West Cornwall became the subject for a one hour step-by-step workshop using Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolours.
Expressive Watercolour Inspired by Turner

Dear Artist’s
I have a question I have not seen
addressed,( unless I’m missing it).
I use Fabriano 140 and 300 cold press.
Does paper loose its crispness, when
it gets older. And if so can anything
keep it fresh?
Thanks
Hi Betsy
So long as you store it in relatively constant temperature and humidity conditions, away from strong light sources and any fumes or solvents, watercolour paper should stay in the same condition as the day you bought it for hundreds of years.
Many thanks
Lisa
