About the course:

The course will continue to experiment with different water-colour techniques (sea salt, cling-film, wet-in-wet, wax resist, scraping, granulation fluid etc…) and with step-by-step instructions learners will be shown how these can be used to develop textures and atmosphere in paintings.
