Collection: Online Short Courses

This course presents a unique approach to understanding and applying colour developed by David over the last 25 years for art and design practitioners and teachers as well as anyone just fascinated by colour. It consists of eight beautifully illustrated lectures complemented by optional practical exercises that progress from mastering colour control in paint through to still-life painting studies. The lectures are given live in class with time allowed for discussion but can also be viewed outside class as video recordings. Students undertake the practical exercises outside class and can submit photos by email for feedback and discussion.

Learn how to paint expressive, contemporary watercolour paintings with structured classes around specific themes, practical exercises, demonstrations and interactions with a lecturer in a live (online) studio environment. Discover the thrills of colour mixing, palette organisation, compositional ideas, pigments and different mark-making techniques. Experiment with different watercolour papers and work towards sustained finished artworks.
