Capture the Magic of the Scottish Highlands
Alvaro CastagnetThis course is great for artists with experience, wanting to advance to a new level of competence in understanding watercolour.

Alvaro is an expressive painter and portrays a strong, impressive and colourful style with superb interpretation of light effects, capturing the soul of the places he paints. Although best known for his portrayal of urban scenes Alvaro has come to know and love the Scottish Highlands with its clarity of light and fast changing moods.

The emphasis is on the fundamentals of colour, composition, lost and found edges, “wet on wet”, and dry brushstrokes. You will gain skills, which will allow you to reach new heights of individual expression. The course will include regular demonstrations.

Alvaro has won many prestigious awards, including 3 from the coveted AWS of which he is now a member. He is the author of “Watercolour Painting with Passion”, numerous articles in magazines around the world, has designed his own line of watercolor brushes, and has recently released a new DVD, “Inspired Watercolours", by APV films, UK.
