This course is designed for complete beginners, nervous beginners, or those returning to art who want to learn watercolour properly from the beginning. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the essential techniques needed to paint with more confidence, control and enjoyment.

Watercolour can feel unpredictable at first, but with the right guidance it becomes a wonderfully expressive and relaxing medium. Across the course, you’ll learn how to control water, mix colours, create washes, build layers, and develop simple studies into finished paintings.

Each session includes clear tutor demonstrations, guided exercises and individual support, allowing you to learn at your own pace in a calm and friendly studio environment.
