Watercolour painting is an art that needs to be fully understood before you can get the most out of it. I give a one to one bespoke tuition on everything from the right brushes, paper and paint, to vital techniques like wet in wet and dry brush. We can also delve much deeper and investigate the importance of colour temperature and light and dark values. Composition and perspective are also high on the agenda. It will be important to me to find out exactly where you are with your painting, a complete novice or someone with some experience, it doesn't matter which, I simply need to tailor my tuition to you accordingly to get the very best outcomes.
