This ONLINE class is suitable for students of all abilities. Please note that you don’t need to have done the previous season of Contemporary Watercolours – each of these sessions can be enjoyed without prior experience.

'Contemporary Watercolours: Season Four’ is the final instalment of a brand new series for 2026, brought to you by Karen Carter.  Each series is made up of three classes – one per month -  to build a regular practice and enjoy some ‘me time.’ 
 

This booking is for the following three sessions:

• Wed 28th October 2pm - 3:30pm UK time
• Wed 25th November 2pm - 3:30pm UK time
• Wed 16th December 2pm - 3:30pm UK time
   

Each month we will explore different techniques to build a library of skills, while creating fun projects to use as cards, wall-art or simply to keep in your sketchbooks.
 

In this fourth set of sessions we will be looking at working on textured grounds to create old doorways and windows, the rich colours of autumn in a Klimt-inspired woodland, and embracing all things Christmassy with a fun session full of quick ways to paint cards, tags and decorations (a perfect excuse to break out the mince pies and indulge in a bit of ‘eat and art’!)
 

Each session will have a colour mixing exercise relevant to the subject to build your colour library, ideas for design & composition and the introduction of additional techniques or media….plus, of course, a bit of sparkle for the Christmas project!
 

The emphasis is on having fun with the paint (this isn’t a course about traditional watercolours!) and enjoying the process.  Work along with Karen at a gentle pace or follow the demos in your own time.​​​​​​​
