What to expect:

In this 3 hour watercolour class, we will begin by learning the foundational skills of watercolour painting, including how to hold and use the brushes to create different lines and shapes, colour mixing and basic colour theory, before moving on to the different fundamental techniques of applying watercolour paint on the paper to create different effects. 

The skills build upon each other, and will be used to create abstract patterns to help you practice your brush skills and understand how the watercolour paint reacts on the paper. Once you’re feeling pretty good about the techniques we will then apply these skills to a landscape piece, working step by step to create a final artwork for you to take home! No drawing experience is required, we will also cover how to use basic shapes to create a scene, how to layer, create depth and more.

Outcome:

By the end of this 3 hour class you will have learnt basic watercolour skills and techniques, and understand how to create compositions and layers with these techniques. You will leave the class with your finished landscape piece, plus your pattern play pieces and any other practice pieces.

We will also discuss materials and I will provide a list of my favourite supplies at the completion of class, so you feel comfortable starting your watercolour collection!
