WATERCOLOURS for BEGINNERS

Watercolour is a very spontaneous and individual method of painting, making it both fun and challenging. It can be used to sketch ideas or to complete more complex, finished works. Follow a step-by-step process with exercises that will explore both traditional (wet on dry) and contemporary techniques (wet on wet). Further explore these drawing techniques into painting geometric/organic objects in monotone, or for the more daring, polychrome. Watercolour is about suggestion, gestural marking, saying "a lot with a little". All materials provided.
