Does your paint sometimes turn muddy? Do you struggle to know how much water to use? Do you feel like your brush doesn't do what you want it to? Or perhaps you've watched lots of tutorials but still don't feel confident enough to paint on your own? This 5-week watercolour course is designed to change that.
Together, we'll take the mystery and fear out of watercolour through simple exercises, playful experiments, and lots of painting. You don't need to be naturally talented. You don't need previous experience. And you definitely don't need to create perfect paintings.
Across five weeks, we'll spend time getting to know your watercolours, brushes, and, most importantly, water!
You'll practice:
  • Water control and understanding the different stages of wetness.
  • How to use your brushes with confidence.
  • Wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques.
  • Colour mixing and how to avoid muddy colours.
  • How different amounts of water affect your paint.
  • Simple exercises to loosen up and build brush confidence.
  • Painting from references without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Creating beautiful, loose watercolour paintings.
  • Understanding *why* something isn't working and how to fix it.
Five weeks of painting, experimenting, learning, and building confidence -- so you can finally stop being afraid of your watercolours and start enjoying them.
