- How to set yourself up for success before you start painting.
- You will be shown how to make layers of watercolour in a painting if you prefer to have more control over the outcome.
- You will explore and find out which colours you go to instinctively.
- You will painting with limited colours, colour harmonies and contrasting colours so that you feel able to make your own creative choices.
During the term you will have opportunity to use a variety of materials which she will introduce to you.
And finally you are reminded to be kind to yourself and do what makes you happy.
