  • Painting the Figure in Watercolor

    Now I have: - greater understanding of the warm and cool body areas. - appreciation of being bold in applying colour. - appreciation of a great model and tutor. - a disappointment that this half day was not the precursor to a follow up lesson. Thought cost was reasonable. Mary

    Simon and Dory were very good. They were supportive helpful and talented I feel like I've learned a weeks worth of material in only one day. They also made it fun!
  • Painting the Figure in Watercolor

    If you are looking for a regimented paint by numbers, complete with a gridded photograph you have to copy, this is the class for you. If you want to explore your creativity and understand the medium of watercolor, then definitely look elsewhere.
