Painting
This week-long course will introduce you to the fundamentals of both watercolour and gouache, and explore how these two beautiful mediums can complement each other.
You can choose to focus on one medium or combine both in your work. I will suggest a different project each day, but you’re welcome to bring your own subject matter or references if you prefer.
A list of essential and recommended materials will be shared ahead of the course commencing.
