Watercolour for the Absolutely Terrified Beginner

Eileen Gidman, instructor on left with students taking the Watercolour course for the 'Absolutely Terrified Beginner' which is run out of the Painted Turtle Gallery in Creston, B.C. The course consists of 5 classes on Sat mornings. Each week a new watercolour technique is presented. Exercises to master these techniques are practiced and then a small painting using those techniques is completed in class. There is lots of fun to be had and the mornings fly by! Homework consists of applying the presented techniques into the student's own work.
