This course will help develop basic watercolour techniques, composition and colour mixing skills, through a series of projects. In addition, the use of media such as pen, pastel and gouache will be combined with watercolour for more challenging projects.
"I am one of your part time students attending Watercolour classes on Tuesday evenings..., last night I attended the Art Exhibition in the Gallery and thought what a wonderful idea, and a great way to show off what your teachers manage to get us students to achieve and for us as students to see other peoples work.
I brought my family along and they were all impressed at the high standard and also how wonderful the college looks."
