Introduction To Watercolour
Come join our popular watercolour sessions with James McKay, and learn the tricks and techniques you need for successful painting!
One of the best pieces of feedback we receive is “I love how James teaches, he makes it so easy to understand!” So we’re super lucky to have James presenting not only a morning but an evening watercolour painting session with us here at GCAS.
In these sessions, you will learn:
• What are transparent washes, and how to use them
• How to control and enjoy the process of wet-in-wet painting
• How to use light and dark to create depth in your work
• What brush techniques you must know to work quickly and effectively
When you book, please tell us if you prefer an AM or PM session, as we have limited spaces for each.
WHEN: October 12th, 19th, 26th & November 2nd, 2020
TIME:
AM session: 9:30-12:00
PM session: 6:30-9:00
COST: $279 (ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED)
