About this Event

Description

Have you always had a desire to paint with watercolour but lacked the confidence to begin? If you answered yes, then this course is for you. Watercolour for Beginners is aimed at the absolute beginner, no prior knowledge or drawing skills are required. In this exciting course, Mariska will teach you, through a number of guided activities, the foundational skills required to get you started on your watercolour journey.

The course covers a range of subject matter and painting styles from loose and abstract to finely detailed. It’s designed to be hands on with minimal theory so that you can get into painting as quickly as possible. While the activities and subject matter follow a set curriculum, there is still plenty of space to put your own creative spin on things. At the end of the course you will have six completed artworks and a further understanding of colour theory, wash techniques, watercolour mediums and more.

This workshop is a six week course, running every Thursday Evening from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. The dates are as follows:

13th February

20th February

27th February
