Do you want to improve your watercolours, but need a follow-on class to do it?
If you’ve already attended previous watercolour classes with Chris Richbell or have with experience with another tutor, then this could be the class for you.
This is designed to be a small group to give you the attention you need.
In week 1, Chris will set you a challenge and provide images from which to work - but please remember to bring your images for week 2 with you for this session, see below.
In week 2, you will need to bring two images to work from. These should be a landscape or seascape or a copy of a painting. They need to be clear images in colour, and not too complex. They might be your own photo or a magazine or picture from a book and they will be used as a basis for a simplified watercolour. We will not be aiming for photo realism, more an impression of something that is important to you. You can also bring an image on an iPad.
Feel free to show these to Chris on week one, or email her in advance email: chris@richbell.org
Weeks 3-5 are based on your progress and ability, Chris will discuss with you at the end of each week what your project will be for the following class.
