Course Description

Learn how to simplify your paintings using a limited palette, texture effects and big brushes. Bring light and freshness in your paintings by capturing mood and atmosphere. Composition and discovering your interpretation of the landscape will be taught. About the tutor: Sue is a Watercolour expert. The Australian Landscape has always been a source of inspiration for my paintings. Having experimented with other mediums I have specialised in watercolour painting and feel challenged by its beautiful effects and possibilities. As well as exhibiting my work I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of the medium. What you need to bring Materials & Equipment List: PAINTS – Artist’s quality tubes BEGINNER’S TUBES 1.
