Creative Watercolours
This is a welcoming, exploratory, and enjoyable class where you can work alongside other artists who share your passion. This class is for anyone who wants to learn about the exciting possibilities that watercolour painting has to offer.

You will learn the fundamentals of watercolour painting, as well as expanding your current practice. Each session will begin with an exchange of ideas and inspiration, followed by a look at new techniques. The remainder of the session will be devoted to painting.
