Join artist Rachel Stanton for this three-week introduction to painting with watercolours. This beginners course will teach you the basic skills so you can feel confident to continue at home using your own materials.
Session overviews:
Week 1: Colour Mixing – Using a limited palette of 3 colours, we’ll focus on colour grid exercises and getting comfortable with watercolour. We will look at the watercolour exhibition for inspiration.
Week 2: Tone – Tonal exercises and gradated washes. Building a graduated image by layering tones of one colour. We will go into the grounds of the gallery and observe the sky and clouds as inspiration.
Week 3: Dry Brush/Variegated Wash – Creating an image of dry brushed trees and grasses / seascapes using found/foraged sticks, twigs, feathers, stones, and shells.
