Watercolour Paint Making Workshop

Learn how to make your own watercolour paints and forage for pigment with artist Lisa Marie Price.

In this workshop, Lisa will guide you through the paint-making process from start to finish, giving tips and guidance on what to look out for when foraging for pigment.

The making of natural watercolours is a very mediative process, each pigment with its own feel, smell and texture. All your senses will be used during this workshop and you should leave feeling a sense of calm.

In this workshop you will:

- Learn how to create watercolour paint from scratch.
- Be shown how to forage for suitable earth materials in the local area.
- Grind the rocks/ earth you forage to a fine powder using a pestle and mortar and a sieve.
- Learn about the ingredients needed for making watercolours and the ratios needed for different pigments.
- Use a slab and muller to bind the pigment together ready to be used as paint.
- You will leave the workshop with one handmade watercolour, a PDF guide and the knowledge to continue making your own natural watercolours at home.

This session will be hosted at Lisa’s Studio in Wood Green, North London. It will include a 45-minute walk to and around Alexandra Palace Park.

Tickets are priced at £50 per person. This workshop is suitable for beginners and all materials are included. This workshop is for adults (or accompanied teenagers) only.
