Here it is!
The Ultimate 'learn to paint' for 'almost beginners'
Level 2 - is this you?
*Feel like you're a beginner, but don't want to start at the start?
*You want to build on your basic skills
*you want guidance to try different and new techniques
*you want to find a course that teaches you HOW, not just copying.
*you want to stop guessing how it's done.
*you're sick of trying to figure it out from books and youtube.
*you are wondering if your equipment is the right equipment.
*you are an artist in another medium who knows the basics of watercolour
*you have dabbled successfully, but want to take it further.
*OR you have already done Level 1
*NOTE - PLEASE checkout the Level 1 course if you have not done Jenny's Level 1 before.
- if you are a 'good drawer' or paint in another medium, it may suit you to start at Level 1 as there are a lot of things about watercolour basics that we do not cover in this Level. Level 1 is not just for Absolute Beginners, it's for anyone who may have missed the important foundation skills. Not colour mixing, not brushes. It's soooo much more than that.
From TODAY - you could improve.

Please note: this unusual situation we find ourselves in has created the opportunity to offer this live online class. It is a GREAT opportunity to try watercolour, and get into one of Jenny's very popular Absolute Beginner courses which generally have a long waiting list. It is hoped that Jenny's face to face classes will be able to reopen - but we'll not do this until vaccines are readily available and distributed. When classes reopen, students may choose to join Jenny's Collaroy or Narrabeen (Sydney Australia) classes where space available at the appropriate level. Meanwhile, why don't you get started with the online course, and swap to the appropriate term of live classes when they start.

-

and how to apply them

EQUIPMENT: Jenny has very firm ideas on what makes good equipment and what does not. It is highly recommended that you check out Jenny's Equipment list for STAGE 2 via the button below.
You will need the equipment required from Stages 1 AND 2 (about 9 colours, 1-2 brushes, paper & various bits like water container, hair dryer... if you already have equipment and prefer not to buy extra, then that's fine, however PLEASE READ the list and also note my one compulsory item: COMPULSORY PAPER - 2 sheets of Arches 300gsm rough watercolour paper. Note, we use certain colours in our classes, you will need to make your own recipes if you do not own them. You can save a lot of money buying Winsor & Newton Paint online from the PAINT SHOP.

Please check out the button above to obtain the equipment list for this class. Student quality equipment leads to disappointing results, buy artist quality where possible.
