Watercolour

• Every watercolour course lasts 10 sessions

• First session of the course is one-to-one

• The following nine sessions are in a group of five or less

• Demonstration and instruction is given on an individual basis so that you can progress at your own speed
  
  A large selection of watercolour paint and brushes are available to experiment with and the Studio has Aquarelle Arches blocks of every size to paint on.
  
  
  1. BEGINNERS
  
  If you are starting to experiment with watercolour you can choose the following subjects to develop your techniques.
  
  You will start at the beginning with colour mixing and brush selection
  
  Landscape
  Still Life
  Flowers
  
  All the above subjects offer the opportunity to practice washes, soft and hard edges, colour mixing, perspective, pattern and texture.
  
  At the end of your course you will have started your colour and technique portfolio and have finished at least one painting.
  
  2. INTERMEDIATE
  
  If you have some experience of watercolour you will have some idea of the sort of paintings you want to do. Wherever possible we would like you to bring some examples of your work, some of which you are pleased with and some which you fell that have not worked out, so that we have an idea of where you want to go and help your painting problems.
  
  We offer the opportunity to review what you have learned, fill in any gaps or techniques you need, help you assemble all your knowledge into a portfolio of techniques, information and colour (trees, skies, washes, textures, perspective, focus, distance etc.).
  
  
  3. ADVANCED
  
  If you have been painting for some time, you may need a change of direction or technique, a helpful, objective critique, or just to use our excellent light studio, model, materials, flowers etc. We have many other artists who use our facilities for out creative atmosphere and the exchange of information. It can be so isolating when you work on your own.
