Watercolour Painting

Watercolour Painting
Your Course
This is a structured course based on teaching watercolour techniques. The chief aim of the course will be to respond to the needs and interests of individual students as they pursue their own work. However, a general structure to the course will be followed in terms of systematic demonstrations of techniques. The order of presentation of the various elements of the course is likely to change according to the needs and interests of the students.
A detailed course outline will be given to students on beginning the course. Materials are not included in the course fee. Advice on the materials needed will be given in the first session but those who have already begun painting should bring their preferred materials with them. Basic materials needs are two watercolour brushes size 6 + 8, a box of watercolours, watercolour sketch book, water container and drawing equipment.
