We have designed the perfect 1 day workshop where you can get the basics out of the way so that you can build confidence in the art of watercolour. There are a few tips and tricks you need to learn to get confident with using this medium and this 1 day workshop is designed to cover them all. You will learn step to step and take home a number of artworks at the end of the session.
What we will cover:
- The importance of water and how to use it to your advantage
- Brushes to use and which brush does what
- What kinds of paints you can use and how to use colour in a way that keeps it looking fresh
- How to use the white of the paper and translucency in painting
- How to use layering of colours for depth
- What papers are best to use and why
We will supply all art materials for this workshop and give you advice on what to buy to get started.

Meet the Teach
Denise Scott
Denise Scott's passion for watercolour is proof it is never too late to start learning! After starting as a beginner a little later in life, Denise went from not being able to "draw a straight line" to cultivating her love for watercolour into a full time passion. She has been a long adored and trusted teacher with Artable and is the perfect teacher for beginners to the medium.
Denise trained in the art of pure watercolour and passes these skills along with a deep seated belief that 'anyone can learn' onto her students. Denise's stunning artworks hang in private collections nationally and her love of travel has allowed her to hone her painting skills both in Australia and overseas.
