Watercolour painting
Learn washes, layering and loose brushwork to paint flowers, landscapes or city scenes.
What you do
Watercolour is about letting the water do some of the work. An artist shows you how to load a brush, lay a flat wash and a graded one, work wet into wet and add crisp details once the paper has dried. You practise on small studies, then paint a finished piece: a botanical, a landscape or a sketch of the street outside. It is quiet and absorbing, the kind of session where time disappears.
What you take home
One or two finished paintings and a feel for a medium you can carry anywhere in a small tin.
