Ready to take your watercolour skills to the next level?

This 10 week course is designed for artists with previous watercolour experience who want to strengthen their technical skills while developing a personal artistic style.

Building on foundational techniques, you’ll deepen your understanding of drawing, shape making, colour mixing, value usage, and composition. Explore more advanced approaches to watercolour painting while gaining confidence in your creative decision making and artistic voice.

With guided instruction, demonstrations, and individualized feedback, you’ll continue to refine your skills, expand your creative toolkit, and create watercolour paintings that reflect your unique vision.
