8 Week Beginner/Refresher Watercolour Course

With Maria Field

WHAT/WHO? The Watercolour Society of Qld is offering an 8 weeks Beginner/Refresher evening watercolour course for those unable to attend day classes. This will be a fun course for those who have always wanted to try their hand at watercolour; feel they need to brush up on some of the basics; are having troubles with controlling watercolour; or need guidance to enhance and develop their watercolour skills.    

HOW: You will be producing small paintings straight away as you cover many different techniques and subjects. At the same time you will be learning basic washes, materials, colour mixing, glazing, masking, focal points, making interesting darks, preventing mud etc. Emphasis is placed on cause and effect of watercolour techniques so that you can better understand what is happening on your paper and more importantly….why!

WHEN:  Monday nights commencing 7th February  2022 for 8 weeks.

TIME:  6pm to 9pm

WHERE:  The Lavalla Centre, which is the old Marist Bros College at Paddington on the corner of Given Terrace and Fernberg Road.  Street parking.  No steps.
