Veronica covers the basics of paper stretching, colour mixing, creating a colour chart, tonal values, composition, lifting out and lots more. There will be plenty of advice, encouragement, and demonstrations. This course is for those who have never painted in watercolours but have always wanted to try, without being terrified! Some parts of the course will require quite a bit of concentration.
The classes are structured and there are summary handouts for you to read at your leisure, enabling you to enjoy the class without having to make notes of the content or which colours are mixed to create that very special 'green'.
Materials are supplied, together with a mount and printouts, covering all aspects of the short course. The maximum number is 4.
The courses are active with standing, gathering for demonstrations, walking back and forth to the kitchen to change the water pots and wash the brushes etc. and standing whilst using a hairdryer to speed things up. At times, concentration will be needed.
