This class is an 8 week course for painters familiar with the basics who want to progress their knowledge of watercolour painting.
The class consists of 2 hours of tuition from 9.45 - 11.45am and half an hour of studio time where you can continue painting.
Robyn covers a wide range of techniques during her classes using demonstrations and tailored feedback to students. Each class begins with a review of work completed since the last class. A review of work produced during class is undertaken at the conclusion of each class.
Students bring their own materials. We have provided a list that can be purchased at Gordon Harris in Vivien Street at 10% discount if you are a student at Karori Arts and Crafts.
