Here’s what they have to say….

  • The online waterclour course for absolutely beginners brilliant. Being able to go at one’s own pace and to be able to keep dipping in and out of each stage is a brilliant idea and so good for anyone with a brain injury. Sarah’s method of teaching is perfect. Sarah explains everything so well and easy to understand and inspires one to keep at it.

Valuable tuition on every aspect of watercolour painting, from materials required (not expensive or excessive either) to a variety of techniques to enable great progress (colour mixing, colour theory, brushstrokes and brush control, colour values and even granulating colour). Plus fun paintings to paint along with Sarah of course!
