Introduction to Contemporary Watercolour with Jo Dalgety
Explore the creative possibilities of watercolour in this relaxed and supportive class, suitable for beginners and those with some painting experience. No previous watercolour experience is required.
We’ll look at contemporary and historical artists working with watercolour and consider the elements that contribute to a successful painting.
Through demonstrations and practical exercises, you’ll explore a range of techniques and processes, helping you develop your own visual language, discover new approaches, or refresh your existing practice.
Each session includes dedicated time to work on your own painting in a focused, supportive studio environment.
Come along, experiment, build your skills, and explore the possibilities of watercolour alongside like-minded artists.

Materials to bring:
● Watercolour paper: Hahnemüle Britannia or Concept 300g watercolour A6/A5 and A4 (reasonable price & good quality) - plenty for experiments.
● Watercolour brushes of your choice: Recommended: a round and a flat watercolour brush. If you are unsure, bring what you have.
Your tutor will bring in some brushes to demonstrate the different varieties available.
● Watercolours of your choice: recommended to bring a set with a range of colours from tubes or blocks (pans). If you are not sure, bring what you have, and by the end of the first lesson, you will know what you would like to work with. The 3 primary colours (red, yellow, blue) are a good start. Both tube colours and pans are good (it comes down to personal preference)
