In this 6-week flexible Watercolor Techniques Class, you will learn a different Watercolor painting technique each week and then create a piece of art using the technique.

PLEASE NOTE:-  This class does not meet live, it is a flexible class, so lessons are pre-recorded.

Each week I will post my classroom, which will include on average 3 video's - a demonstration of the weeks technique, a guided drawing and a painting using the technique.  You can then create your own beautiful masterpiece using the techniques learnt.

This class can be taken by younger or older children, the age is a guideline. Reach out to me if you would like to know if it is the right fit for your learner.

Participation is encouraged to ensure proper understanding of the materials and to promote a sense of community in class. You can post polite comments on each others artwork.
