Description
Watercolour Painting
Create watercolour paintings that are exciting, creative and personal by extending your use of watercolour techniques and developing freedom of expression.
You’ll learn how to create and use tone, colour theory and mixing, structure and composition. We will explore the experimental use of pastels, inks and other media in connection with watercolour.
Subjects covered will include still life and working from the model, as well as developing personal projects and studying the great masters.
This course is for all levels of ability. Your tutor will meet you at the level you’re at.
