A little previous watercolour experience is recommended for this course.

The aim of this course is to develop solid watercolour skills whilst looking at the practice and themes of contemporary as well as traditional artists. The course will look in further detail at two artists and encourage students to adopt a creative thinking practice with their own work.

We are looking for this project at the watercolours of Eric Ravilious and Emil Nolde. Ravilious' approach involves using a barely moist brush and building the strokes up in layers. It offers excellent scope for exploring varied mark-making, composing an image and optical colour-mixing. In contrast to Ravilious carefully planned and rigorously composed method, Nolde's work involves an instinctive free-flowing wet-in-wet approach using varied consistencies of paint and unconventional compositions.
