What you will experience

Each week focuses on a different aspect of watercolour practice, including brush control, colours, layering, stretching paper, use of mediums and simple composition. Students will experiment with a range of exercises to develop core skills such as wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques, as well as lifting, blending, and creating texture. Use of thicker watercolour and Gouache.

Subjects will include landscapes, still life, natural forms, and abstract studies, providing a variety of approaches to painting and encouraging creative exploration. Instruction will include step-by-step demonstrations, group discussion, and individual guidance in a relaxed, supportive environment.

By the end of the course, participants will have gained a solid understanding of watercolour techniques, improved their painting ability, and produced a selection of finished works. They will also develop the confidence to continue painting independently.
