Welcome to beginners painters and for those with little experience but want to learn more!
In this series of classes, we will cover the basics of watercolour painting. With an introduction to the materials of this medium, we will learn how to use the paints, paper and water with confidence to create fresh and beautiful paintings. 
Every week, we will move forward with aspects and techniques such as basic rules of composition; experimenting with transparent and pure watercolours and colour theory; learn wet in wet and dry brush techniques; and develop confidence in how to start and develop wonderful works from a blank piece of paper!
We will cover a variety of subjects from landscapes, still life, developing your own interpretation and style with your own subject matter as we move along. 
The emphasis of this course will be learning to enjoy the process of playing with juicy colour and developing vibrant paintings, while learning techniques that you can build on as you develop your skills as a watercolour painter.
