Make it a mixed media moorland!

Ahh...the good ol' Yorkshire Moors! 

I'm compelled to paint their wild beauty...except this time this was created indoors for a wonderful art group in Cheshire at the start of the week, and a good way to start it too!

A wonderful workshop teaching an Maple Lodge Art Group lots and lots of mixed media techniques using Acrylic Inks (to include metallics), combining Watercolour, Gouache and Pastel all in the same painting. 

Here are some close ups to show all those wonderful layering techniques on Canson Moulin du Roy 300gsm (140lb) 100% rag content watercolour paper - such a fab responsive paper that everyone just took too!

A great day had by all with great work created by all who came...I even made a good start myself!

Hope to be back again in the future. Thanks again Maple Lodge!
