Water Colours


"Watercolour is the beginning and the crown of all painting technique"

Class details

This medium is one of the most difficult and also very interesting. Its transparency gives a glow to pictures as they allow the white of the paper to show through. This transparent nature makes it impossible to cover up major mistakes. Different effects and moods can be obtained by changing the type and colour of paper used. Watercolours are relatively inexpensive, easy to carry and clean up.

The basic course of ten classes will help the student to get acquainted with:

  • The medium and the materials;
  • the colour theory and the uses of the colour wheel;
  • tonal values and importance of arial and linear perspectives in painting;
  • mixing of different colours and using water and different types of paper for effects
  • cleaning of brushes and their maintenance;
  • how to paint.

A simple landscape or still life will be done on handmade paper by students which will help in assessing their capabilities

Mixing of paints can be done on the painting, but very carefully. Try to use as few colours in a mixture to maintain purity of tints. Watercolours are available in tubes, cakes and now pencils, you should choose the type which you can control best. The quality of brushes is most important, get the best and keep them well. Paper should preferably be stretched before use.
