<p><strong>Artist&#8217;s statement:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Watercolour painting is a journey of discovery. Making advances in watercolour painting requires practice and experimentation with various watercolour techniques and pigments. Understanding colour theory, the principles and elements of design, tonal values, colour saturation, and textures will help you to develop your own personal style.</p>
<p>Our goal in this class is to find beauty in the unexpected, to learn to enjoy the happy accidents and to let watercolour be a meditative, pleasurable and calming experience.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>This course will focus on:</strong></p>
<p>Creating textural and interesting watercolour effects</p>
<ul>
