More information about this Course


01. Who is this course for?
This course is designed for learners wishing to develop their watercolour painting skills. This course follows on from 'Introduction to Drawing and Painting - Watercolour'. Learners will continue to build their confidence through a range of skills and techniques in a friendly and supportive environment. Demonstrations, help, support and tips will be a feature of the course and its progression.

02. What will I learn?
On this course you will continue to develop your understanding of techniques, explore colour mixing and wash progression, as well as strengthen your drawing skills. Your tutor will encourage you to explore new techniques that are of interest to you.

03. How will I learn?
This is a tutor-led art class. Learners will receive regular verbal and written feedback on their progress. The course tutor will be on hand at every stage to provide support with one-to-one tuition, demonstrations, and handouts.

04. What will I need to bring?
Please bring: brushes (numbers 3,5,7); pencils HB and 2B; water container (eg a jam jar); watercolour paper, (Winsor and Newton or Rowney are good manufacturers of this); a set of watercolours (the above manufacturers are again recommended, your tutor can advise on this and paper if necessary); a wax crayon or candle; a sponge; tissues; a drawing board (a piece of chipboard will be fine, roughly 50cms x 35cms x 1cm in size); an eraser; a mixing palette (a white plate will be great for this)

05. What skills or experience do I need?
This course is suitable for learners who have an introductory knowledge of watercolour painting, and would like support to improve. You may find it useful to have already completed, 'Introduction to Drawing and Painting - Watercolour', although this is not essential if you have some prior knowledge.

06. How will I be assessed?
The Learning for Wellbeing curriculum uses formative and summative assessment methods to evaluate learner progress. You will work towards completing a set of class learning targets, as well as your own personal development targets. Targets are reviewed at the middle and end of the course. Informal discussions with the tutor will take place throughout the course, both individually and in groups. Your progress may also be documented through photographic evidence.

07. What could I do after this course?
After this course, you can enrol on to 'Drawing and Painting – Watercolour – Intermediate Level. You might also chose to look at other art courses available within the Learning for Wellbeing curriculum. The Learning for Wellbeing curriculum offers a wide range of art, craft, sewing, cookery, dance and creative arts courses for you to continue developing skills specifically aimed at improving your wellbeing. Courses are available to search on the GoLearn website.

09. Is help available with course fees?
Many of our courses are FREE to all learners. Your course may be FREE if you are unemployed or earn under £26,800 before deductions. If you are in receipt of state benefits or have a low income (£28,733.50 before deductions) you could be entitled to enrol on your course at a 70% reduced fee cost. Some exclusions apply, eligibility for fee reduction is subject to change, and you may be required to provide evidence of earnings. If the amount you must pay for your course is over £50, we offer instalment plans which break down the cost of learning into a set number of easy monthly payments. If you need help with the wider costs of study, such as childcare, resources, travel, and transport costs, you may be eligible to have these costs reimbursed through our Discretionary Learner Support Fund.
