Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful class today. It was a real eye-opener! The emails have been flying thick and fast tonight, between the members, all agreeing what a great day we had today, in every respect. Can't wait for your next lesson - you are a very talented tutor as well as a wonderful artist.

Hi Jan, I enjoyed the workshop and I learnt a lot out it, the other students were nice to work with and it was pleasant to see a wide range of topics. I have a drawing project that I have been working on for a number of years now and this will help me keep inspired.

I’d like to thank you both for making today such a happy one for Fred.  He was very tired when he got home but he had a lovely day and couldn’t stop saying how kind you were.

Light Effects in Watercolour

Mastering the use of tone, colour, light and shadow is essential for successful watercolour paintings.  Learn how to create atmospheric effects for a variety of subjects while discovering the differences in natural and artificial light.  Time will be devoted to a lesson on setting up a still-life as a painting project, as well as insight into how to pitch paintings in different keys.  Other lessons include the themes of water, skies, reflections, flora and fauna.  With a combination of theory, demonstrations and individual projects, participants will gain new skills for manipulating subject matter to depict different moods and effects.
