Introduction to Watercolours
This 2-hour workshop is aimed at those who have never used watercolours before or those who want to start with some basic skills.
We will discuss how to choose between the materials: paper, brushes and paints.
We will cover 8-10 different skills, making a reference swatch pad that you can refer to at home as a reminder when you come to practice. Once we have practised these skills we will put them to use in making our own watercolour artwork.
