Learning the basics of watercolour painting

This gallery showcases student work from beginners’ watercolour courses and workshops, usually delivered as a five-week course or an intensive one-day session. Students start by learning about equipment, paint consistency and brush control before progressing to washes, colour mixing and simple compositions.

Projects typically include painting a still life and a gentle landscape, helping students gain confidence while understanding how watercolour behaves. The focus is on building strong foundations in a calm, encouraging environment.

These courses are ideal for anyone new to watercolour or returning after a long break.
