Discover the wonderful world of watercolour painting and learn to love your mistakes!
This comprehensive 3 hour course is the perfect way for beginners to learn some basic techniques while becoming familiar with watercolour materials. Feel free to ask any questions along the way – nothing is too simple to ask!
During the morning we’ll look at different papers, brushes and paints while creating a collection of paint applications,
mark-making and simple images. We’ll cover techniques including wet on wet, dry brushing, “cauliflowers”, masking, flicking, and applying salt.
By the end of the course you’ll have created a beautiful beach scene and plenty of useful reference materials!
All materials are provided but please feel free to bring a favourite brush if you have one.
After the workshop the course notes will be available (via email) for you to refer back to at a later date.
