Watercolour for Improvers; developing skills by Sarah Colgate

Description

Improvers Watercolour Painting: Developing Skills. In this 10-week course, starting Tuesday, 14th January 2025, skills and confidence will be developed in applying watercolours to paint a variety of subject matter. Study in the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you and have individual feedback on your work if you wish. This course is suitable for those who have completed the beginners and improvers courses with me and those who have basic skills in watercolour painting. A detailed handout will be emailed to you each week with instructions, tasks, illustrations, etc. along with a link to a demonstration on YouTube. The sessions are 2 hours long for carrying out tasks and practicing, but you can carry out the work at a time convenient to you. Extra work (‘homework’) for 2 hours, is encouraged, but it is optional. Individual feedback on the work you send to me will be given by email. By the end of the course you will be able to: ~ Confidently apply watercolour washes ~ Confidently layer or glaze paint ~ Create mood in a painting using: high key and low key colours (sunlight, hazy light), ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ colours, paint misty scenes, capture a winter scene, paint night skies and paint birds and animals.
