Flood, Spatter and Scratch: Six weeks of watercolour techniques

Taking inspiration from Turner’s watercolours we’ll explore how loose washes can contrast with a few hard-edged details to dramatic effect.

Brushes; at least one large brush size 7 or more and two smaller size 3 or 4 and size 1 or 2 with good points.

Other useful colours are yellow ochre or raw sienna, burnt umber, burnt sienna and dioxazine purple.
