A practical approach to successful watercolour painting. Learn and apply 3-step painting technique, composition in 2-dimensional design, elements of design (size, shape, colour and texture) and principles of design (dominance, contrast and variation). Students will gain basic understanding of the above and be able to apply them constructively to painting.
