watercolour for beginners

mindfulness through art

Most of us doodle without even realising it. Doodling is a low-stress form of art that’s simple, fun and once you begin it’s difficult to stop. This workshop will use doodling to decorate a card.

This course is suitable for beginners who wish to learn about watercolour. You will learn fundamental aspects of watercolour painting using a variety of materials, develop your observational skills and see real improvement in your abilities. You will also learn about colour theory, how to stretch paper for washes and watercolour media such as gum Arabic and masking fluid.

Students will learn about mark-making and drawing shapes that will relate later to still life drawing. They will do this while focusing on deep breathing to relieve stresses. Students will also learn about different pencil grades and also how to draw using tone. Each session will begin and end with two minutes of deep breathing as a brief guide to meditation

measuring the benefits of learning

We aim to meet your learning needs on every occasion; however, we may not always get it right. We welcome your feedback. You can do by either:

l Completing a Compliments, Concerns, Suggestions or Complaints form at www.harrow.gov.uk

l Telling a member of staff either in person, in writing or by telephone l Filling in an Evaluation Form at the end of your course (ask your tutor for a form)

Your course is funded or subsidised by the Mayor of London and Department for Education (managed by the Education and Skills Funding Agency). We are working with them and other London local authorities to measure the impact of your learning on your health, wellbeing, progression and employment, whichever is more appropriate to you and the course you are doing. To enable us to do this we will ask you to complete a short survey at the start and at the end of your course. The results will be anonymous and you will not be identified in the reports. The data will help us understand the impact of community learning and how it benefits you, your family and community and we thank you in advance for the answers you give us.
