WATERCOLOUR SKILLSET

Lessons in the very basic watercolour

techniques like (graded wash, wet-in-wet,

dry-brush, splatter etc.) will be given.

These lessons will be followed by an

introduction to applied techniques through

studies with expressive and observed

colour.

COLOUR PRIMER

Lessons will give a general introduction

to colour and the watercolour medium,

in particular. Students will explore the

medium and develop understanding in

the basics of colour composition (hue,

value, and intensity), mixing and tone.

Collage making will be done for

instilling the ideas of colour

composition in the students, practically.

WATERCOLOUR LESSONS:

ELEMENTS & ENTOURAGE

Lessons attempt to help students apply the

basic skills they’ve learnt in paintings. As

students develop a grip over the medium and

gain confidence with strokes, they will be

given practise in painting simple subjects and

still life first, which may further into studies of

foliage, landscape, skies and water.

STARTING WITH

WATERCOLOURS

Lessons will be mostly integrated

sessions where demonstrations will be

followed by students attempting to

paint for themselves. For enhanced

understanding of colour, medium and

ways of expression, practise will be

given with monochromatic,

dichromatic and trichromatic

paintings.
