Watercolour Painting
Tutor: Claire Harrison
Claire will demonstrate watercolour techniques and teach you how to build up layers of colour to produce beautiful watercolour paintings. There will also be opportunities to practise core painting skills, including tone, colour and contrast. This course is for all abilities, as the focus is on developing each individual’s skill.

Testimonials
Laid back course, haven't done a course in ages and was a great way to ease myself into it. Anon
The tutor was quite accepting of my complete ignorance. Watching her demonstrate and explain was fascinating. Paul
