Always found water colour daunting but Tessa broke it down into easy to understand exercises which led to painting a bluetit. It was a friendly, relaxed and encouraging environment. Would definitely recommend.
An excellent well thought out lesson where I learned basic techniques and then afterwards these were applied in completing a painting. As soon as I got home my wife insisted on putting it in a frame and it is on display in our living room! I heartily and unreservedly recommend this course.
As the title says, Tessa is an excellent teacher and taught the basics of watercolouring in a way which we could quickly learn and practice in our afternoon project. I really appreciated the creative independence that was encouraged, with just the right amount of supervision to help if we encountered any difficulties without interfering with our vision for the painting.
5/5 and looking forward to the more intermediate/advanced workshop!
I attended an introduction to watercolour with Rayn and Cait and I loved the whole thing. My past experience with watercolour was just painting with it like I would with acrylics, and that doesn't work! TKeh was so lovely, taking time to show us how watercolour works and helping us one-to-one when we needed it. I learned so much, and it's given me confidence to be much more relaxed and experimental with the medium. You'll definitely want to paint more!
This was such an excellent workshop, excellent value for money, such a lovely morning of creativity that I'd absolutely love to do again. Such a lovely welcoming host with advice for all levels or artist, knowledgeable and friendly with a positive attitude, I was given the freedom to try my own way of interpreting the advice given and also given really great direction that I've already seen improve my work
