About this course: This is a workshop which will look at different techniques to create a Christmas themed picture/card using pen and watercolour media. Plenty of practice before creating your own design
Who is the course for: this course is for improvers. Not suitable for beginners
Previous knowledge/experience required: Previous knowledge of watercolour painting is essential. What is also required is lots of enthusiasm, willingness to learn and a desire to have fun. This is a very loose and graphic style of painting

How will I be assessed: Through observation, questioning, discussion and peer/self-evaluation.
What shall I bring:
- Watercolour paper (Cold or Hot Pressed) 140lb minimum in either a A4 or A5 pad or block or loose sheets.
- Sketch pad (doesn’t have to be expensive) or loose paper.
- HB Pencil and rubber.
- Waterproof fine liner pens (like the brand Uni pin) at least 0.1, 0.5 and 0.8 sizes or a black biro.
- Flat and round paint brushes small and medium (brushes come in number size but vary so much between brands, hence a rough guide).
