Watercolour: beginner techniques @ Ultimo Community Centre

Discover the peaceful magic of watercolour in this fun Sunday workshop designed for beginners.

Start with the basics and learn to lay smooth washes, create soft blooms for floral and atmospheric effects and use dry brushing techniques to add detail and texture.

You’ll explore unconventional methods, such as using salt to pull pigment into snowflake like bursts and cling wrap to form jagged, crystalline textures.

These techniques are perfect for creating ethereal backgrounds and intricate organic patterns.

Suitable for participants aged 16 years and over – no experience necessary. 

• Small class size: maximum 10 students

• Level: designed for beginner level students 16+yrs
