These classes will explore the material language of watercolour paint. Emphasis will be on your discovery of mark-making and watercolour techniques through painterly experimentation and play. Each lesson has a different theme.
Classes are suitable for both beginners and those with previous experience.
Develop your watercolour skills and techniques. Weekly themes to expand ideas in making art and experimentation with the medium with demonstration and individual guidance from the teacher. Connect with other artists regularly in a friendly and informative night class setting that explores and demystifies watercolour painting.
