We’ll start with the basics, including understanding watercolour materials, practicing brush techniques, and exploring colour theory. As we progress, you’ll learn essential skills such as layering techniques to create forms, and adding texture to bring your paintings to life.
Over the course of 8 sessions, you’ll gain confidence with hands-on guidance, step-by-step demonstrations, and personalized feedback in a supportive environment. By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of completed pieces, as well as a good understanding of watercolour techniques.

[IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ] Watercolour Class Materials List ($52 per person)
To help you succeed in this class without breaking the bank, I've carefully curated a selection of high-quality yet affordable materials. I’ve done extensive research on the products available, balancing great performance with cost-efficiency. While art supplies can be pricey if purchased individually, I’ve put together a kit that reduces costs and ensures you’re equipped with everything you need for the class.
What’s Included in Your Kit
1. Paint: The key to vibrant, successful watercolour art is using artist-quality paint. For this class, we’ll use Holbein watercolor paint, known for its excellent pigment quality and performance. I’ve prepared small palettes for just $15, which will last you through the term.
2. Brush Washer Bucket: A sturdy, multi-purpose water bucket for cleaning brushes is included for $8.5.
3. Palette: A mixing palette is an essential tool for blending colours effectively. Each kit includes a palette designed for easy mixing for $8.5.
4. Brushes: Brushes are essential tools for watercolor painting. You’ll receive two versatile brushes in different sizes, perfectly suited for this class, at a cost of $10.
5. Paper: High-quality watercolour paper is critical for achieving the best results. To ensure you’re using paper in optimal condition, I’ll provide it during each class session. This eliminates the risk of paper sizing (a protective gel layer on the paper) deteriorating, which can happen if stored improperly. The cost for the term’s paper is $10. If you wish to purchase this kit, please leave a message when booking and I will contact you to confirm. Thank you very much.
