Watercolour - Beginners
Instructor: Linda Ross Gallagher
We keep
hearing that painting with watercolours is “difficult”.
Let’s
change that concept and have fun as we discover their potential and what makes
them beautiful and convenient.
In the
first lesson, we will examine materials and put together our list of supplies
for our toolbox, which will be used for the remainder of our course.
Creating
simple art pieces, we will touch on composition, colour theory and build our
vocabulary of techniques that are the foundation of all watercolour
painting.
