Watercolour Lift Off Techniques - Beginners and Intermediate

This is an online lesson in watercolour, for beginners and intermediate, teaching step by step instructions to explore a range of lifting off techniques and discover how they can be applied in a variety of interesting paintings. The techniques we are using are fun, easy and effective. This is where you use a material such as cling film, kitchen roll, greaseproof paper or kitchen foil to give exciting effects, combined with some brush work and drawing. There are already 5 people in the weekly group who are very friendly and from around the world. Cost is £15 for the two hour taster session. Each block we tend to have at least one focus - this term it's Lifting Off!
