Watercolours for Beginners (2x half-day workshops)


  • Yardley Arts, The Old School Hall The Square, Yardley Hastings Northampton, England, NN7 1EU United Kingdom (map)

Have you always wanted to paint in watercolours? Are you keen but nervous? Then this is the course for you, led by renowned artist and tutor Chris Richbell.

Together you will demystify the technical terms and classical techniques of watercolour painting.

You will play with colour mixing and find surprising combinations of colours which are useful for your landscape experiments. By the end of the second half day you will have produced a small landscape painting and a seascape to be proud of.

Great new ideas to try and a very supportive tutor
