What will I learn?
This 4-week course is an introduction to painting in watercolour. Learners will practise the basic techniques of watercolour and also improve their drawing skills. Basic watercolour techniques will be taught, such as washes, glazes and "wet-on-wet", with projects that could include woodland wildlife, landscape and natural still-life. Colour-mixing will be included as it adds to the skill base of this course.
