This is an opportunity for students who have had some experience in painting with either  acrylics or watercolour (or both) to develop and improve their skills further. Students can opt to work in either medium or both.  Classes will be steered towards thematic ideas with the intention of supporting individual development within the framework of the selected medium.  The focus for lessons will be on techniques, colour mixing and interpretation of subject matter.
