Are you ready to take your watercolour practice to the next level?

In Intermediate Watercolour, students will learn skills that expand on a foundation in drawing, shape making, colour mixing, value usage, and composition. Through guidance from instructor David Cooper, and utilizing their expanding technical knowledge, students will be encouraged to experiment with producing watercolours that are suited towards their own personal style.

Usure what your personal style in watercolour looks like? No problem! This class is a great opportunity to discover it!

This class is not suitable for true beginners. Students are required to have previous knowledge and experience in watercolour.

Four (4) sheets (22×30) of 140lb Arches (preferred) Cold Press Watercolour Paper.
