Watercolours are a pleasure to work with, whether adding a wash of colour to a drawing, layering to find new colours and shades or as a way to create delicate textures and form.
This medium has subtlety, translucency and an element of surprise. Over the course, we will also be looking at a handful of artists who have found new and interesting ways to use watercolours.
Subjects this class will be exploring: Drawing and painting the Still Life; Landscapes; Architecture; the Natural World; defining our watercolours with inks and creating pattern, texture and abstract designs.
There will be an opportunity to work on your own projects throughout the course whilst learning and practicing the fundamentals of watercolour as we go.
Open to all levels
All necessary materials will be provided for your first session.
Materials provided throughout the course: Pencils- Hs to Bs; rubbers; basic paint, palettes and water holders.
Materials to bring with you: a range of watercolour brushes of various sizes; a block of watercolour paper; a simple set of watercolour paints; a set of fine-liner coloured inks; a bottle of masking fluid, and paper towels.
““Sophie took us through all the key skills we needed for drawing and painting from nature and somehow I now have the confidence to just try drawing things around me. Before this I had no idea how to even start. Thank you!”
Undecided? These classes can be tried out with an initial taster. If you decide to continue to the end of term, the taster is deducted from the fee for the remaining sessions.
For a taster session, all materials are included. For regular students, we can advise you on obtaining materials at the taster.
