Beginners Watercolour Workshops | Levels 5–8
Go beyond the basics. Levels 5–8 build on the colour mixing and wet, dry and combined techniques from Levels 1–4, exploring them in more depth and finishing paintings to a higher standard — the planning, timing and layering behind landscapes, florals, animals and buildings. Take only the levels whose subjects interest you, or all four for a well-rounded technique base.
