This course will build on the part 1 and 2 courses, where we will learn new techniques such as using different masking techniques, negative painting, and skies. This course is suitable for those with a little watercolour experience already (preferably having done the part 1 course). Part 2 is not a pre-requisite – you can do part 2 or 3 in either order.
