Watercolours
Monthly Watercolours Classes
Course Overview
Join us for an inspiring watercolor class where creativity flows as freely as the paint on your brush!
Each 2.5-hour session will focus on a different subject and area of emphasis, ensuring that every class brings something new and exciting to explore. We’ll cover a wide range of practical skills, from the essential steps of surface preparation to the application of paint, as well as how to effectively use various tools and mediums.
Throughout these sessions, you’ll learn techniques to create washes, build layers, add texture, and refine fine details. Each month, we’ll draw inspiration from different subjects, helping you develop a broader range of skills and ideas in your watercolor practice.
You’re welcome to dip in and out of these sessions as each is designed to be stand-alone, or you can choose to book them in a series for a more in-depth experience.
