Watercolour painting is all about 'making the water work'

Our watercolour weekends are in the Studio and on location. (Subject to weather). That's the beauty of having the Professional Art Studio, we don't let the weather stop us doing anything!

The essence of a good watercolour drawing is good drawing - so your artist shows you how to compose your drawings, finding your focal point and thinking about perfect composition. You learn tonal values - very important factor in watercolour painting. How to use your brushes etc. ALL YOUR PROFESSIONAL MATERIALS ARE INCLUDED - including BIG heavyweight paper and the selection of all watercolour brushes. From Mops to Riggers!

These are usually lovely weekends where we combine learning all you need to know in the Studio with going on location, to the fantastic countryside and architecture of Mapledurham.

THIS IS DIFFERENT - PAINTING IN A PROFESSIONAL ART STUDIO AND ON LOCATION WITH ALL YOUR TOP QUALITY PROFESSIONAL MATERIALS PROVIDED.

The Course Programmes are created EXCLUSIVELY by JoeDaisy Studio - designed to give the student the very best course content and teaching. us any questions
