You've found it.
A  watercolour course that ACTUALLY TEACHES!

Level 4 - is this you?

 

* You know all the watercolour skills and techniques and can apply them, but maybe need more practice through a workshop style course.   (if you want to learn foundation skills, enrol in Levels 1-3)
* ..But you'd like to know HOW to put them all together into beautiful paintings.

*Maybe you have done Jenny's Level 1 & 2 & 3 prior to this?

*Have done other beginner courses that taught you all the foundation & basic skills?

*Can't find a course that teaches you HOW to put your paintings together?

*Don't know how to plan a painting? or how to set one up?

*Not sure what to paint or how to go about painting it?

*Want to push yourself further AND CREATE full paintings with guided help so that....

*Want to paint more professional looking pictures?
*all that...and you love workshops?

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 LEVEL 4 via the button below. 
You will need EQUIPMENT FROM LEVELS1,2, 3 and 4. We have all the Winsor & Newton Brand paints available SUPER CHEAP - in our
PAINT SHOP page.

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. You do not HAVE to buy all the equipment required, but Jenny will not be able to offer substitute suggestions (ie colours) as we may not work with those in class. Arches or Saunders 300 gsm rough paper is COMPULSORY.

 

 

Northern Beaches Watercolour is Jenny's website and business name.
Welcome to Watercolour (Teachable) is the name of the page on which the Online course lives. It is part of Northern Beaches Watercolour.
