Discover the calming, restorative power of watercolour in this welcoming Beginners Plus course. This course offers a space to build confidence, explore creativity through watercolour.
Throughout the course, you’ll explore a range of watercolour techniques — from loose, expressive washes and flowing brushstrokes to more controlled, detailed work.

The course offers step by step guidance and demonstrations; constructive encouragement tailored to your individual ability.

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
