Watercolour is a beautiful medium that has a long history of use and when used correctly it can be used to create stunning paintings with atmosphere and/or impact
Who is this course for: Beginners and improvers. Individuals looking to develop their creative skills using watercolours and to gain an understanding of foundation skills, over informal fun sessions
Previous knowledge or experience: None required except lots of enthusiasm, willingness to learn and a desire to have fun. This is a varied style of painting and easily utilised with correct application and so very suitable for beginners
How will I learn: This is a relaxing and friendly course with step-by-step demonstrations. You will be gently guided through different drawing and painting activities, starting at the basics. Each week will focus on specific elements used within art with nature as the subject. The focus is on small scale sketches rather than a big final painting
