We will create a landscape with depth and atmosphere. To achieve this, there will be stage by stage demonstrations on the various ways of applying watercolour, such as wet into wet and building up layered washes. We will also look at simple ways of using colour effectively and how to utilise a focal point to draw the eye. Along with this there will be ample opportunity to experiment.

1. Loose underpainting and tinting
2. Wet into wet
3. Layered washes
4. Dry brushing
5. Simple construction drawing
6. Balancing tonal values

Abingdon and Witney College is subject to Ofsted regulation and is required to work with all its students to make sure they understand Government initiatives around Safeguarding, Prevent and Fundamental British Values. Information on these matters will be shared with you during your course.

You will also be asked to complete monitoring paperwork, which helps us to deliver course content to the highest quality.

Learners will be given demonstrations, one to one tuition and there will be group discussion throughout the day at intervals. Learners will be asked to assess their own learning through the outcome of the painting, i.e. Have they made use of the different ways of applying watercolour? Is there tonal balance? Is there space/depth? Learners may also find that they have acquired incidental knowledge that can be used in subsequent paintings as they continue their studies.
A class for beginners and those with some experience

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The 19+ full fee button displays the full fee that may apply. As the rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options.
