Throughout the workshops, you will be amazed at how much you can accomplish. By the end of the class, you will have compiled an impressive portfolio of work that can be compiled into a personalized instructional book. This valuable resource will serve as a guide to help you further refine your skills and explore your creativity long after the workshops are over.
One of the key highlights of Tamlyn's workshops is the use of high-quality materials for watercolor. Archer's 300gsm watercolor paper is the canvas of choice, ensuring that your creations stand the test of time. Professional-grade watercolors and brushes elevate your artwork, allowing you to explore the medium's full potential. Tamlyn's commitment to excellence extends to her latest release, the exquisite watercolor cushions she creates as a surface designer.
