Watercolour Classes (Weekly)

Watercolour Classes (Weekly)

Join me for a relaxed and supportive weekly watercolour class, perfect for all levels — whether you’re just starting out or looking to build on your existing skills.

Each session is designed to help you grow in confidence with watercolour at your own pace. You’ll learn how to handle your materials, explore techniques, and gradually develop your own style in a calm and encouraging environment.

This is a small group class with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, where you’ll receive plenty of guidance and individual support.

Class details:

Tuesdays, 5.30 – 7.30pm
The Studio Gallery, 59 Anderson Street, Manunda

What’s included:

All materials supplied (paper, paints, brushes)
You’re welcome to bring your own supplies if you prefer
Printouts on watercolour paper are provided if you’d prefer to focus on painting rather than drawing

What we’ll cover:

Each week we’ll focus on different techniques and subjects, including:

• Brush control and basic techniques — getting comfortable with your brushes, exploring different shapes (like cat’s tongue and dagger brushes), and understanding how water and paint behave
• Colour mixing and understanding pigments — how to mix confidently and avoid muddy colours
• Wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet techniques — learning both controlled and loose approaches
• Washes and layering — creating smooth, even colour and building depth through glazing
• Values and creating depth — using light and dark to bring your paintings to life
• Exploring different painting styles — from loose and expressive to more detailed and refined

Come along to slow down, learn something new, and enjoy a creative couple of hours each week.
