Term 1 2026  Essence of Watercolours

This class will provide instruction on every aspect of watercolour painting. From washes to colour temperatures, from texture to travel pics. We will show you step by step how to approach a difficult landscape to an easy still life. All welcome from beginners to advanced. The class starts promptly at 9 and finishes at 12pm each week.

What to Bring

Warm and cool tube colours such as cadmium red alizarin crimson ultramarine blue cerulean blue lemon yellow cadmium yellow deep quinachrodone gold and indigo as staples but you will be adding other colours as you progress. Please buy single sheet Arches paper 300gsm medium. Don’t buy cheap watercolour pads. Only cotton paper not wood pulp as you won’t be able to follow the lessons without good quality paper. Silver black velvet brand brushes are excellent for the beginner in various sizes of rounds plus a 1” flat or a mop brush for large washes.
