AU214 – Monet’s Water Lilies in Watercolour

Create a luminous watercolour of richly coloured water lilies to take home. This subject is perfect for developing your loose, wet-in-wet watercolour skills. Follow Catherine’s plan to paint with confidence. Experiment with ‘rivers’ and puddles of paint, embrace water marks and watch her step-by-step demonstrations to create a colourful ‘masterpiece’.

There is an element of one-to-one tuition and trouble-shooting throughout the day.
