Organised by V&A
Discover the lively personality of watercolour painting. Through a series of exercises with expert watercolour course tutor Leo Crane, each week you’ll explore a different way to use this versatile medium, from luminous manuscript painting to precision illustration and spontaneous mark-making.
By the end of this beginners' watercolour course, you will have tried out a variety of techniques, creating a mini portfolio of sample pieces and a final project:
- Learn watercolours from our world-class experts wherever, whenever: watch classes live or view the recording later in your own time.
- Time to explore: 12 hours of live classroom sessions over six weeks.
- Consolidate your learning: watch over 20 specially-commissioned beginner watercolour painting lessons to support your course. Receive feedback from the class tutor on your work.
- Deepen your understanding: weekly Spotlight Sessions with V&A Curators, Art Historians and practicing artists explore the background to the projects.
- Learn at your own pace: lecture recordings and study materials are available for six weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a minute.
- A list of readily available materials will be sent out in advance of the course. This course is suitable for beginners and is open to participants aged 18 plus.
