Watercolour is a beautiful medium for conveying mood and atmosphere.
Over four classes, we will look at the four elements: Water, Air, Earth and Fire, and look at ways you can enhance your painting's mood to create a sense of mood and atmosphere and tell a story. We will explore different techniques and compositional skills you can use in your painting and learn how to apply them. Each week I will demonstrate different subjects and techniques and give you plenty of time to try them yourself, provide a great range of reference materials to inspire you, and give you guidance and support along the way.
All levels of experience are welcome.
