About the course:

In this course we will build on basic skills experimenting with watercolours, investigating alternative painting surfaces, adding texture and adding additional media such as collage

How will the course be delivered?

You will be taught by Karen our highly qualified art tutor. Throughout the course your tutor will give you feedback and encouragement. The course will be delivered via a mixture of tutor demonstration, discussion and experimentation, building your confidence and leading towards an independently created final piece of artwork.

What do I need to bring?

There is no need to buy any materials ahead of the course starting, basic resources to get you started will be supplied and Karen will discuss with you the most suitable brushes, paints etc. to buy to help you continue on your artistic journey.

What are the entry requirements?

Some experience of painting with watercolours is advisable. Ideally you will have completed a beginners watercolour course within the last 1-2 years or be able to show equivalent knowledge and skills e.g. from other prior learning.

What can I do next?

You can continue your art journey with any of the other classes we have on offer. This could lead to an art course focusing on a specific skill or technique or a creative arts qualification. Information, advice & guidance is available from your tutor to help identify the best follow-on course for you.

How well am I doing?

Throughout the course your tutor will give you feedback and encouragement. You will also complete an Individual Progress Report (IPR) to track your progress.
