Artgecko Sketch x PypahsArt: Splashy Gecko watercolour workshop

*Welcome to our very first LIVE workshop! Your host for the workshop is the extremely talented Pypah Santos!* The workshop is themed on the process of layering inks and watercolours for gradients and coloured shading on characters.

Pypah's using one of our favourites species this evening, the 'Splashy' Gecko. Perfect for watercolour, inks, acrylics and even some markers too, the Splashy comes in 2 sizes (A4 & A3) in either landscape or portrait. Each Splashy has 20 sheets of 300gsm superior all-media acid free toothy white cartridge paper.
