On this one-day course you will use a variety of watercolour techniques to enable you to paint and draw accurately a seasonal spring flower. This course is suitable for all levels and is a good introduction into colour mixing, identifying the various colours and tones in the plant, drawing from life/observation and learning watercolour techniques. There will be regular demonstrations and plenty of one to one help to enable you to work at your own pace.
Includes homemade lunch and refreshments
