Experiments in Watercolour - March 2021 - online

Experiments in Watercolour is a three day practical course led by Simon Carter. The course aims to have a fresh look at the medium of watercolour and how it might be used in an expressive, experimental and contemporary way. The course will not be about tech-nique, but will seek to use watercolour in a bold and painterly manner. Students will be working from drawings and will be required to make a series of drawings prior to the course starting.

Each day will start with live online demonstrations. Students will then have their own stu-dio time to immerse themselves in the process of painting, being encouraged to be bold and experimental in their approach.

A gallery page on the website has been set up for students attending the course to post their work on line. We will be able to look at the results of each days work. This will be a way of celebrating our shared experience and gaining extra inspiration. It also gives Si-mon the opportunity to see the work and give one to one feedback, to help progress and confidence.
