Overview
About the course
This Pure Watercolour (Stage 2) course at the Arts University Bournemouth will be taught in three blocks, each consisting of five weeks, to allow you time to develop your watercolour skills and in turn your confidence, bringing together painting techniques, observational drawing and colour theory.
