Wonderful Watercolours
Barbara Hotson
Mondays, 7 to 9pm
Tuesdays, 10:00-12:00pm
Barbara’s classes are for anyone who has ever thought: “I wish I could paint!” You will explore the medium of watercolour and enter a world of colour, shape, line & texture. You will also learn to see the world around you with new eyes and most importantly, have fun! This session we are interesting in going bolder and brighter. Working with vibrant darks and luminous lights, we will have fun mixing, pouring and laying down washes of colour to develop mood and atmosphere. We will do some outdoor sketching, talk about composition & design, and encourage each other to develop our own unique style.
Bring your own materials - list will be supplied with suggestions.
