This watercolour painting course will help to improve mental well-being and confidence by showing you the pleasure that can be gained from playing and working with paint. This course will give you the confidence to experiment with paint and help you to use painting techniques to relax.Led by Nicola Blakemore, who is a self taught artist that thrives on bringing the creative side out of her students. Nicola believes that many people would like to make art by painting, but many don't even try in their adult years because they 'believe' that they don't have a talent, don't know any technical stuff and more likely than not, somewhere along the line somebody told them they weren't any good at it!This course will encourage you to open your mind to creative and playful art that will enable you to relax and take a more positive view of your art work and life. With no one looking over your shoulder and no expectations you will find you are learning through play and gaining the confidence to do more. Most of all just enjoy the pleasure of painting!
