About this course

During this beginners course, you will create simple paintings in watercolour. Through practice, you will improve your painting technique by using simple maths principles, such as balance, proportion and perspective to improve your work

You will be able to use simple watercolour techniques, proportion and create perspective in painting your subjects.

Session 1: Mix paint in the correct proportions to experiment with watercolour techniques, and practice with different brush shapes.

Session 2: Draw a simple landscape using thirds to divide the picture and use angles to create single point perspective.

By the end of the course, you will have:

• measured thirds and angles to create a simple yet pleasing landscapes in watercolour
