Mixed ability; suitable for both beginners and those with more experience.

This is an exciting online course which will introduce you to watercolour painting and line and wash techniques. You will learn how to use a range of different processes and techniques, both traditional and experimental. You will work towards developing a range of paintings and studies. The lessons will involve demonstrations you can paint along to as well as experimental colour, technique and texture studies. You will be able to work from photographs provided by the tutor. At the end of each session there will be some limited time for one-to-one feedback to be given.

Lessons will be held on zoom and information on how to log on will be given when you book. You can use a computer, tablet, or phone. A camera to photograph your work is also advised.

As part of the Drawing Class You also have access to an online file containing lesson notes, reference images, materials lists and extra topic information. Feedback can be given during lesson time or by email or on the closed Facebook group.
