watercolour skills & PRactice 1

There are 2 spaces left in this class on Friday 6 June. Email me on info@catherinejennifer.com if you want to try it!

Friday mornings, 10am -12 noon, on the following dates:
25 April, 2 May, 16 May, 6 June, 13 June (5 sessions)

Venue: Upstairs in the Kennington Village centre, Kennington Rd, Kennington, Oxford OX1 5PG

Cost: £120

This class is for anyone who wants to learn and practise watercolour painting. Focus is on modern watercolour techniques, and subjects are mostly florals, birds, and still life, which are useful subjects for focusing on paint to water ratio, timing, wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry techniques, and hard and soft edges. There will also be some focus on watercolour and mixed media, and painting & drawing with ink, which is similar to watercolour and loads of fun.

You will need to bring your own materials. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.

FAQs:

I can’t make all the sessions, can I book individual sessions?

No, sorry. It is simply too much administration for me to offer this. Join my newsletter to be notified when I run one-off workshops.

I can’t make all the sessions, can I carry missed sessions over to another course?

No, sorry. It is simply too much administration for me to offer this. But if you know someone who wants to use the sessions you can’t attend, you’re welcome to arrange it with them, just let me know in advance. They will need to bring their own materials.

I’m a total beginner. Will this class be suitable for me?

This class is not my signature four-week “Watercolour for Beginners” class. But if you are a beginner you can still join it, as long as you are willing to bring your own materials and “have a go”. I will provide individualised advice during the class to help you achieve the techniques we are focusing on. Alternatively, you can join my mailing list to be notified when I next run the four-week Watercolour for Beginners class in Oxford. The next 4-week Beginners course is likely to run in early September 2025. You could also book a one-to-one lesson with me, to cover the basics of brush technique and paint-to-water ratio. One-to-one lessons are £65 per hour and require two hours.

Cancellation policy:

If you cancel up to two weeks before the course starts, you will get a full refund. If you cancel less than two weeks before the course starts AND I can fill your space, you will get a full refund. If I can’t fill your space, you will get a 50% refund. If you cancel after the course has started, you will not get a refund.
