Master Layers - Level up your Watercolour

If your watercolour paintings lack contrast or definition, this is the class for you!

If you struggle to add details or depth, I have created this class to help you become a master of layering.

This class is a must-watch for beginners and perfect to get in the 'watercolour mindset' if you are an acrylic or oil painter.

Join me for over an hour of jam-packed tuition featuring 6 mini projects. All have step by step instructions to help you complete the projects at your own pace. I share all my tips and techniques to help you troubleshoot problems with your painting and improve your technique. The class is pre-recorded so that you can access is at any time and complete in your own time.

About the teacher - Hannah Katarski

I love sharing my knowledge with others and have extensive experience in the Arts.
​I hold a Graduated Diploma (Education) as well as a Bachelor Arts Degree and really enjoy teaching!
The projects were simple, but all turned out really pretty, and I learned a lot about layering techniques. Simple concepts that had so far escaped me like being careful to move the "beading" so the edges don't dry and create uneven spots, were like thunderbolt moments. I am slightly further along than a beginner, but not quite intermediate yet, and this was perfect for me! - Erica
This class is well-planned, with each lesson clearly building on the skills from the previous ones - just like layers of watercolour! By following along, I'm learning how to create diluted and concentrated washes from light to dark, to build up layers of colour in a painting. Hannah Katarski is a talented teacher, and her work is simply joyous. I've gained so much inspiration from this class. Thank you!!!! - Lise
I enjoyed everything about this class! Awesome warm-up exercises, loads of colour, and super fun techniques! I can't wait to try them all! Great learning experience, wonderful teacher! Thank You!  - Becky
