This ten-week course will introduce beginners to the fundamentals of painting with watercolours. Through weekly demonstrations and guided practice, you’ll explore the techniques needed to create beautiful watercolour paintings – with plenty of hands-on support and advice to give you the confidence to find your own style and have fun with this versatile medium. Whether you’re completely new or returning after a break, this course offers steady, structured learning without pressure. Returning students will work on fresh projects and slightly more challenging activities, designed to strengthen foundational skills and support continued artistic development.
