A series of exercises will be the basis for experimental studies, which will enable you to progress from drawing, using mark-making and colour, towards using watercolour paint. This is a good opportunity to explore several different drawing methods, in addition to watercolours, which will suit beginners to watercolour as well as those interested in combining and developing their drawing and painting.
