A watercolour taster class. You can do this as a one off or to discover if you would like to do my ten week follow on course in April. This is an introduction to colour and colour mixing and to simple techniques including washes, wet in wet, layering and using salt to create dimply lemons. I love the versatility of watercolour, the varying transparencies and the huge variety of cheeky techniques that create awesome effects.
