Watercolour Play Extended

Description

This course will introduce you to watercolour painting through a series of basic exercises that demonstrate how to build simple, yet dynamic, compositions. The emphasis is on ‘play,’ not on making finished paintings. You will learn how to hold the brush, how to mix colours, and how to have fun by just making marks, shapes, and well-designed compositions. The course offers an extension of exercises introduced in the three-hour ‘Watercolour Play’ workshop. It is not necessary to have done the workshop to take this course. Suitable for all levels.
Online delivery.
