Overview
This online course is designed to deepen your understanding of colour and composition, helping you create more dynamic and expressive watercolour paintings. Through a series of structured, tutor-led sessions, you will explore colour relationships, mixing techniques, and the principles of effective composition.
Learners will develop practical skills in creating harmonious palettes, controlling tone and contrast, and arranging elements to achieve balance and visual impact. The course encourages both technical refinement and creative experimentation within a supportive virtual learning environment.
Ideal for adults with some prior experience, this course will equip you with the confidence and knowledge to bring greater depth, cohesion, and vitality to your watercolour work.
Course level and content
ENGAGING WITH YOUR PERSONAL LEARNING RECORD (PLR) PAPERWORK
All community learning courses require learners to engage with Personal Learning Record (PLR) paperwork. At the beginning of the course, you will be supported in setting personal learning aims, which will guide your development over the duration of the programme. Your tutor will assess your progress at key points—at the start, mid-point, and conclusion of the course—providing written feedback to help document your learning and achievements.
