Experiment with watercolour

Next date: Wednesday, 05 February 2025 | 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM

This watercolour class is for students who wish to experiment and take their art in new directions. We will explore the many interesting and exciting effects achieved by using watercolour with ink, gouache, gesso, pastel, charcoal, wax, printmaking and collage. We will discuss new artistic tools, products and equipment. Students can work on standalone works or work in a series in a nurturing environment supporting the creative spirit and developing personal content.
