About this Event

It’s time for a fresh and fun approach to watercolour classes while learning different approaches to help you discover the magic of watercolour. We’ll create a variety of pretty summery paintings. Join Nora, as she takes you through the process with step-by-step demos, helpful drawings and lots of wonderful watercolour tips. All classes are beginner friendly while still challenging for the intermediate painters.

“Stay creative this summer and I’ll see you at Artbarn!” – Nora
Required Materials
Small Inexpensive Sketchbook
WATERCOLOUR PAINTS - 8 COLOURS
Reccomended: Winsor & Newton Artist Quality Paints:
1. Yellow Ochre
2. Cad Yellow Light (Cadmium-Free)
3. Cadmium Red (Cadmium-Free)
4. Permanent Rose
5. Cerulean Blue
6. French Ultramarine Blue
7. Burnt Sienna. OPTIONAL - Opera Pink (fun neon pink)
PAPER - BEGINNER - 9x12” Fluid Brand Watercolour Cold-Pressed Paper. Blocks are affordable good quality watercolour paper. (Blocks are nice because the sides are ‘gummed’ down which makes wet-in-wet painting easier).
INTERMEDIATE- Acquarello Artistico by Fabriano. Deserres has 9x12” blocks.
PALETTES - A palette with a lot of wells (at least 12) and a lot mixing space. I use a plastic folding palette that closes and protects the paint.
BRUSHES - Two - SIZES 4 and 10. Synthetic brushes that come to a fine point are great.
Reccomended: Princeton brand called Velvet Touch (long round). They are available at Above Ground on McCaul.
BOARD - One that is slightly larger than your paper size. Masonite Boards and light, affordable and available in art stores.
PENCILS - 4B. OTHER - Paper towels, Masking Tape (for paper on boards), spray bottle and kneaded gum eraser.
