New course starts on Fri. Nov. 22nd 2024 - running until Dec. 6th 2024
This mini-course requires a minimum of three participants to run!
Want to dive into the depths of watercolour and discover more of what you can do with this fantastic medium? Then I'm your gal!
As a self-taught international and local artist, I can help you hone your painting skills and develop your artistic voice all while enjoying the magic of watercolours.
In this course, we will explore watercolour a little further and here's what you will learn over the course of three sessions.
Lesson One
  • Foundational watercolour skills that underpin the majority of watercolour paintings.
  • Learning how to use your tools (brushes) and get the best out of them.
  • Working with different types of paper and the effect they produce.
  • Basic drawing skills to help you map out your artworks.
  • Applying these techniques to a landscape painting and learning about shading and using negative space.
Lesson Two
  • Playing and diving into colour theory and learning how to mix your colours.
  • Incorporating new mediums and tools that mesh well with watercolour (i.e. collage, gouache, watercolour pencils & markers).
  • Working on a couple of guided mini paintings to take home. 1) Cloud painting 2) Ocean waves
Lesson Three
  • Making watercolour cards with a twist for fun (right on time for Christmas) or working on a piece of your choice applying the lessons and techniques from lessons one and two (Good Christmas surprise present too!).
  • Tips and tricks that I have developed as a professional artist that will help you fast-track your work.
  • You will leave with a variety of finished pieces of art that you can be proud of and new techniques to kickstart you on your watercolour journey.
My teaching style is fun, relaxing, and educational.
All materials are provided for the classes, and the price is set to be all-inclusive, but if you have your own brushes, materials, and paper you want to work with, please bring them, and there will be a separate price for this.
Light refreshments and nibbles are available as an add-on as well.
This is ideal for students/groups who want to:
  • Refresh their watercolour skills and learn new techniques.
  • Beginners who would like to explore the medium for the first time.
  • Those wanting to have some fun and challenge themselves with this tricky medium! (Watercolour can have a mind of its own, but that's what's beautiful about it.)
  • Those who would like to give some time to themselves, de-stress and relax learning a new meditative hobby.
If you have a vision or reference of a piece of art you would like to create, please feel free to bring it along to the class, and I will help you develop the piece as well.
My mission is that you come out of the course with renewed confidence in your creativity, develop new skill sets which will help you create watercolours.
If you have any questions, please shoot me a message, and we can discuss!
