Course Overview: Whether you are a beginner or intermediate water media artist, you will be guided through a fun and supportive process that begins with composing a strong base structure and leads to creating at least three vibrant paintings. Students will receive guidance in refining and expanding their range of brushstrokes, exploring the use of vibrant colour to the degree of their choosing and learning effective ways to define shape and form in nature. Andrew will provide demonstrations throughout the sessions and individual support to help each participant build their confidence and skills.
