Ever fancied having a go at watercolor but thought it seemed too complicated? Don’t want to buy too much expensive equipment? Then this is the course for you. It will take you from those first tentative strokes through to some completed paintings using just a few tubes of paint, one brush and some decent paper. My method ensures you grasp the basics before rushing on to more complex techniques thus avoiding the frustration of not knowing how to achieve your goals.
My aim is to:
- EXPLAIN why it is important to use good quality materials from day one
- GUIDE you through basic brush strokes and laying washes
- ENCOURAGE you to develop good habits as you go along
- SHARE an understanding of tone and how important it is to good watercolors
- DEMONSTRATE mixing color and making color work for you
- SHOW how to put what you learn into real paintings
- ALLOW you to make mistakes and learn from them
- But above all ...make sure you ENJOY the journey
