- Overview
- Take your watercolour journey a little further in this friendly, beginner-friendly class, where we’ll explore more detailed paintings, creative techniques and the exciting possibilities of layering watercolour with mixed media. Ideal for beginners who are ready to build their confidence and try something a little more adventurous, this relaxed and supportive class will introduce you to more developed watercolour paintings, exploring how colour, texture, detail and layering can bring your artwork to life. We’ll experiment with watercolour washes, blending, layering and mark-making, before adding extra depth and interest using ink pens, crayons and the beautiful shimmer of metal leaf. You’ll discover how to combine these materials to create contrasting textures, fine details and eye-catching highlights, developing paintings that are full of character and individuality. Through guided exercises and step-by-step support, you’ll be encouraged to explore new techniques, experiment with different approaches and develop your own creative style. While we’ll be taking our paintings a little further, there’s no pressure to get everything perfect — the focus is on learning, experimenting and enjoying the creative process.
