watercolour course
Beginners in fine arts tend to mistake watercolour for the introductory media to painting. Compared to oils and acrylics watercolour is actually a bit more challenging. It is harder to control (particularly "wet in wet"), and adjustments are hard to make - if at all - without losing the 'freshness' of the work, much the same as in drawing. On the other hand - again like drawing - watercolour is a conveniently 'fast' media: One needs less space and materials and can complete a work within an hour.
In this introductory course you will first learn about the materials needed, about basic colour theory and watercolour pigments, brushes and papers. The following classes will then be project based, and you will be guided in painting still life, landscape, figure and portrait, while practising basic techniques like stretching paper, laying washes, working wet in wet, controlling edges, using dry brush, etc.
All art materials can be catered by the school. We do however recommend you to purchase your own (few) paints and brushes early during the course so you can also practise at home and get more consistent results. For this we can inform you about the best deals in town.
The course has 4 weekly 3-hour classes and usually runs during weekends. Find out about the next start on our social media pages. Price of the course: 340 Euro.
