About the Session:
Watercolour workshops for beginners will start with introducing the materials, colour theory and playing with the relationship between the paints and the water. We will have time to really experiment, I will show different techniques to create different textures with the paint and we can look at different brush strokes for different desired outcomes.
After we have become comfortable with the materials we will start to create our own painting inspired by nature.
All basic materials are included but if you want to bring your own feel free
