Watercolour for Absolute Beginners

Turn a puddle of coloured water into a masterpiece!

5 x 2 hour tutored sessions, designed to give you a taste of the gentle art of watercolour; suitable for absolute beginners and anyone who’s ever dipped their brush in their tea, put streaks in their sky and turned green grass brown.

Vincent Van Gogh said you needed 27 heads to paint a watercolour, but David will show you how you can do it with just the one! This course gently guides through all the common pitfalls and problems of watercolour painting and will teach you how to stay in control of your colours and paint a picture you can be proud of.

Tables and chairs and a roll of newsprint paper are provided. Please bring whatever watercolour paints and brushes you have, plus an HB pencil, cut sheets of watercolour paper or a pad.

At your first session, you will receive a discount card, qualifying you for a 10% reduction on art materials at selected art retailers in Frome and Bath, so if you need advice on what to buy, please contact David.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are available at the sessions for a donation.
