The Wonders of Watercolour

4 TUTOR: Jonathan Newey

This exciting course is an ideal follow-on to other watercolour courses for beginners that will show you how to develop your watercolour painting skills and also how to explore the varied skills and techniques associated with this fluid medium. During the course, you will be shown how to use watercolour both in a traditional way and also how to loosen up with more exciting techniques, such as wet on wet and in conjunction with other media. Subjects will include landscapes, still life and portraits. No previous experience is needed and all tools and materials will be supplied.
