Dive into the world of watercolours with Ann’s new series of beginners’ classes designed to get you painting like a pro. Each week we’ll be taking a beginner’s eye view to a different topics in watercolour painting, and exploring the truly mind boggling amount of potential the medium has. No experience is required—we’ll be covering the basics each week so that you won’t feel like you’re missing out if you can’t attend every class. If you would like to attend the entire series, however, please book here to get one class free.
We’ll be doing step-by-step exercises so you can expect to have a new painting weekly, and you’ll be sent a recording of the class once it’s finished so you can review techniques as long as you’d like.
