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. 

Watercolour is a great way of unwinding, whilst finding inspiration in your surroundings. These skills can then be used to record your own life, making sketchbooks of great walks or your holiday photos.

If you have watercolours it would be helpful if you brought them, if you don't I will have everything for you. You can see examples of my watercolour class work in my portfolio along with useful worksheets.
