Watercolour Classes
If you have materials ie pencils, watercolour etc and paper it would be helpful if you brought them, if you don't I will have everything for you to try for the first week. And I can advise you on what to buy. Give me a shout at if you want to have a chat about what would suit you best.

To start your watercolour journey, buy a no 12 round watercolour brush ( eg Daler Rowney Graduate), some 300gm coarse COLD PRESSED watercolour paper ( eg. Winsor & Newton or Cass Art own brand) and Alizarin red, Ultramarine Blue, Prussian or cerulean blue and lemon yellow. (eg. Winsor & Newton Cotman range). Then you can gradually add to your stash.

Reviews from current students...
I have attended Victoria’s classes for over 5 years. Always informative but also most enjoyable. Victoria teaches not only with deep knowledge and experience of the subject, but also with humour and makes the class a very pleasant way of learning. Lessons include not only help with drawing, understanding proportions and colour mixing, but also explanation of techniques to create exciting effects. ‘Beginners’ and ‘improvers’ all definitely benefit.
