What's Included: All materials required are provided for use during class! You will also receive a digital copy of my supplies guide so you can feel confident shopping for your own supplies after class.

What to expect & outcome - Intro to Landscapes:

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, and the fundamental techniques of watercolour.

The skills build upon each other, and will be used in practice exercises to finesse your brush skills and understand how the watercolour paint reacts on the paper. Once you’re feeling confident about the techniques we will then learn how to apply these skills to create the different elements of a landscape piece, before working step by step to create a final artwork for you to take home! No drawing experience is required.

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. You will feel confident in breaking down any landscape photo to turn into a painting, and understand how to create the composition.

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!

 

What to expect & outcome - Intro to Florals:

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, and the fundamental techniques of watercolour.

The skills build upon each other, and will be used in practice exercises to finesse your brush skills and understand how the watercolour paint reacts on the paper. Once you’re feeling confident about the techniques we will then learn how to use basic shapes and brush movements to create flowers, leaves and other floral elements, including different types of flowers. We will then create 2 floral pieces for you to take home, in which you will also learn how to create balanced compositions.

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.
