Hello ! My name is Sam Folcarelli and I am an award-winning artist originally from Teeside, but now based in north Northumberland.
Although mainly known for my animal paintings, I also paint and make lots of other things, including needle felting, spinning, collage and papier mache, to name but a few !

Workshop Details
Content: After an introduction to some basic watercolour techniques, we will spend the morning learning different ways to paint these little creatures and you can then practice trying both and planning your composition before you decide which of these to paint for your ‘proper’ picture in the afternoon. We shall be considering ways in which you might add more ‘character’ to your little animal even if it isn’t apparent from you reference photo.
Materials: you will be supplied with all of the required materials including paint, paper, brushes, and a mount pack in order to complete your choice of a final A4/ A5 piece.
Time : 10:30 - 16:00

Additional Information: IF YOU HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF A PLACE THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU’D LOVE TO RECREATE, please bring that with you to use during the day.
Tea and coffee is provided but you will need to bring a packed lunch or treat yourself with something delicious from Carmichael’s next door ! You may also find it helpful to have a device upon which to view an image eg iPad / phone etc. and to bring an old shirt or apron to protect your clothes.
