'Contemporary Watercolours: Season Three’ is the third 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 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.
 

This booking is for the following three sessions:

• Wed 8th July 2pm - 3:30pm UK time
• Wed 19th August 2pm - 3:30pm UK time
• Wed 16th September 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 third set of three sessions we will be looking at working on collaged grounds, incorporating resists, wash-offs and masking fluid, and embracing all things summery with sea, sand and textures. Each session will have a colour mixing exercise relevant to the subject to build your colour library, ideas for good composition and the introduction of additional techniques or media.
 

The emphasis is on having fun with the paint (this isn’t a course about traditional watercolours!) and enjoying the process.  We’ll break the ‘rules’, splatter and splosh…and add in a bit of sparkle for good measure!
 

You can work along with Karen at a gentle pace or follow the demos in your own time.
