Watercolour paints are a really enjoyable and forgiving medium – the paints themselves create all sorts of evocative textures and depths of colour, and even the task of mixing your own colours is really rewarding.

In this class Jess will introduce us to watercolour paints and portrait drawings at the same time.
No art experience necessary! There will be a model for this class.
