Celebrate the rich, warm palette of autumn, where golden yellows, burnt oranges, deep reds, and earthy browns transform the natural world. This course takes inspiration from the beauty of the season, encouraging you to capture its changing light, textures, and atmosphere through expressive watercolour.
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. - Course level and content
-
This is a beginners plus course, aimed at those with little to some experience.
This course offers an opportunity to develop practical watercolour skills within a structured and supportive learning environment, while also promoting personal wellbeing through creative practice. Designed for learners with basic prior experience, it builds upon foundational techniques and encourages the exploration of colour, composition, and seasonal subject matter.
Participants will engage in a series of guided activities inspired by the changing seasons, enabling them to refine their technical abilities and increase confidence in their artistic decision-making. Emphasis is placed on observation, experimentation, and the mindful aspects of painting, supporting both skill development and relaxation.
By the end of the course, learners will have produced a range of seasonal studies, gained greater control of watercolour techniques, and developed an understanding of how creative practice can contribute positively to wellbeing. - What do you need?
