Description

Joe will help students master some practical aspects of watercolour painting by encouraging basic drawing skills, the foundation of watercolour. His specially designed workshops will enable you to make convincing statements based on your own on-the-spot observation.

You will be provided with a pack of notes to enable you to refer back to them after the course.! Always very useful!!!

Some materials can be purchased at cost from Pear Tree Farm if needed. Please let us know if you need specific items to enable a supply to be brought in.

 

"It is possible to build confidence. Sometimes it has to be restored in those who feel they may have lost it. The good thing is that desire to paint often points to latent talent. Confidence can be the missing ingredient. This will be an enjoyable and sociable course. I teach with an everyday good humoured and kind approach. Remember - a lot of watercolour is clever, but not as clever as you think - that can be our secret! "
