Who is the course for?

This is a beginner’s course. This course assumes no prior knowledge.

What is your approach?

Each session will include: a demonstration and explanation by the tutor, students will then practise the exercise and individual feedback will be given. In this relaxed and friendly way students will progress through a series of exercises, giving them a foundation of painting skills and terms. Students will be expected to use the session to practise the skills and build on them as the week’s progress. Time will be allowed for students to work at their own pace to gain the skills needed to progress.

One to one feedback will be give during the course.
You will review your own progress through the work produced in your sketchbook and portfolio.

What can I do next?

If you would like more information about progression opportunities, please speak to your tutor or other member of staff.

What will I need?

You will need a basic set of paint and brushes to work with during the first lesson, the tutor will have a few complete sets to purchase £15, or individual items.
Watercolour paper (thickness over 140lb/300 gsm) I suggest beginners bring A4 size. Look for a pad that is titled ‘watercolour’ pad if you do not understand the sizes and weights quoted above. The Works sell a cheap (£1.99-2.99) pad – Crawford & Black 230gsm
You will need 3 ‘watercolour’ brushes: one large round, one small round and one square flat brush. (the large round and flat brush bristles should be about the same size width as the end of your thumb, the small should be thinner than your little finger.)
A small selection of watercolours: I suggest you buy some little tubes of paint; one of red, one of yellow and one of blue. There are a lot to choose from, so just choose those three in the shade you like best! Some can be expensive, buy the best you can afford. The Works and WH Smiths also sell a box of inexpensive pai
