Watercolour rewards patience more than talent. With three paints, two brushes and a pad of paper you will learn the techniques every painting is built from.
What you will learn
- Flat and graded washes
- Wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry painting
- Layering from light to dark
- A small landscape, from the first sketch to the finish
How the lessons open
New lessons open one, two and three weeks after you enrol, so you have time to practise in between. You keep access for a year.
