8 Week Watercolour Painting Course - Wednesdays

About 8 Week Watercolour Painting Course - Wednesdays

This 8-week course is designed to help you discover more about yourself as an artist, develop new skills to build on your techniques and be a place for you to meet like-minded creatives within the city.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of watercolour as a medium, you’ll be part of a larger community of local artists.
…and the best part?
You’ll walk away with a portfolio of your own work!

No experience is needed, as these classes are designed for beginners and intermediate painters, who are looking to develop new skills and techniques, whilst building more confidence in painting with watercolour paints.

All Materials will also be provided for the whole course so all you need to bring is yourself and a bag to take home your beautiful projects.

The course is limited to 18 spaces, allowing you to make new friendships and have quality time with the tutor. All classes will start with some warm-up exercises, and each week we will progress through the different stages of building up to a final piece of work and a stunning sketchbook full of your ideas, compositions, and techniques that you can take home and continue building on.
