ZOOM Watercolour Painting Course (MONDAYS, 13:30 - 15:30)

You will be working on a new painting each week and sessions will have a specific focus with a reference to an artist or a technique.

To take part you will need a camera and Zoom App on your phone, tablet or computer. Zoom is free to download.

Please log into the session in good time (10-15 minutes before the start). If you have trouble logging in, give Julia a ring on 07876484293 and she will try to talk you through it. However, when the session is started, she will not be able to take your call.

During a session, you will be muted so that everyone can concentrate on Julia’s voice, but if you have a question, please switch on your microphone and voice it out, do not be shy. You will be able to paint along with Julia, as she paints or you could just watch and concentrate on her techniques. After the demonstration, there will be opportunity for you to discuss points.

After the session, you will be emailed a link to the recording of the session which will be a private recording held on YouTube, so that you can watch it again whilst you paint your own version. This link must not be passed on to anyone else. You are welcome to download and save all videos. However, please be aware that the videos will be deleted from YouTube a week after the end of the course.

Verbal feedback will be available on the completion of your work, this will be arranged over a selected afternoon or evening.
