Watercolour without a brush

Tutor: Rachel Moore, print artist

Paint like a pro, without a brush! In this session, you’ll explore print techniques using everyday items like cups and cotton buds to achieve watercolour effects. No need to be an ‘artist’ - join in and see what you can create with some simple tools and a splash of colour.
