The Introduction to Watercolour is a perfect opportunity for hobby artists to learn foundational techniques and develop their skills. You don’t need to be an experienced painter, this is a place to learn and find joy in the creative process, make new friends who love expressing their creativity just like you do! 

The aim of the course is to explore essential techniques and build your confidence and skills through easy-to-follow, step-by-step lessons. From mastering basic brush strokes to understanding color mixing, our tutor breaks down each concept into manageable chunks. A broad subject range will be covered including still life, landscapes, and pet portraits. The lessons are structured around a central theme. 


In the small size classes you will get constructive feedback from the tutor and have inspiring conversations with fellow hobby artists.
The final work you choose to develop is based on your own interests, you can explore what inspires you and find your own unique artistic style.

What do students need to bring with them?
