What you'll need:
I will supply materiels for the first day and guide you through the basic things you will need to buy for the remaining weeks:

1 good brush,
watercolour pad,
3 x small tubes of primary colours
pencil, eraser.

(All materiels should not cost more than €25)

What you'll learn:
Starting with colour mixing, and progressing on to painting found objects from life, learning how to paint washes, create textures with salt, splattering etc. and progressing on to painting simple landscapes, a little bit of technicality (like perspective) - but mostly just a bit of fun...
By the end of the course you should be creating your own masterpieces!
Two hours each week, with a nice coffee break in the middle -

 €50 in advance of each 5 week term.

Sticking to Three Primary Colours:

Picture
Who'd have thought...

just three colours

 could make
 all these other
 colours!!

Creating Textures in Watercolours:

Picture
A sprinkle of ordinary 
kitchen salt - 

just one way of creating 
amazing textured detail
 in watercolour!


Letting the water do the work:

Picture
You can protect
part of your 
painting with
masking fluid
and "go mad"
with a bit of 
splattering
and salt for an
atmospheric
background!

No need to be wish washy:

Picture
Some people think 
watercolours are "
wishy washy" - 
but they don't have to be.....


 learn the importance 
of tonal values 
using just one colour.

Learning to "See":

Picture
Sometimes we look 
but we don't "see" -

Painting nature's little

 details is a great way to
learn to see and appreciate

 the world around us!
