Botanical paintings in watercolour with the theme of learning about colours in the rainbow spectrum. Using the wide choice available in Summer we will take a separate colour each couple of weeks and create work related to the relevant plants and flowers. This will also widen knowledge of the range of watercolour paints and what they are capable of.
Course aim
The theme for this course is based on the rainbow of colours. Summer is a good time to make use of the wide range of flowers and plants available, so each week will concentrate on a different colour.
