On Tuesday afternoons Aimee Li conducts a class called Introduction to Watercolour or Watercolour Basics. Watercolour is a versatile medium well suited to both sketching and major studio works. This is a great opportunity to learn or refresh the techniques which underpin successful watercolour paintings.  Aimee’s course is carefully structured with each lesson building on the previous week. Printed notes are provided each week. Aimee can really help you enjoy the medium. Click HERE for more information.

WEDNESDAY
Natalie Doubrovski

Expressive Painting & Drawing

Natale Doubrovski’s class on Wednesday evenings is a wonderful opportunity to expand your artistic horizons by exploring  different media and techniques with emphasis on developing observational and drawing skills.  This is an opportunity to try media such as  charcoal, acrylics,  graphite and watercolour pencils as well as pen and watercolour washes for travel sketching.  These classes are very good for beginners or even for more experienced artists to overcome their apprehension of  unfamiliar media and techniques and finding a direction which best suits them personally.
