Intermediate Watercolours

Watercolour Painting with Charlene Barry

This course is designed to encourage the student to paint loosely, construct a painting with free creative thinking yet at the same time use theories of colour, value and composition. Charlene will encourage students to express themselves in their own individual style. The object is to paint and have fun!
