Watercolour Landscapes • Watercolour Course with Kasia Hebda

Experience Aotearoa’s beauty in watercolour. Learn to mix colours, build atmosphere and capture landscapes that feel alive. Tuesdays | 17 November - 15 December | 6-8 PM | All levels welcome Join artist Kasia Hebda for five Tuesday evenings of watercolour classes. Each session features a new scene inspired by Aotearoa’s landscapes, painted from start to finish in class. You’ll learn the foundations as you go: water control, colour mixing, layering, light and atmosphere. No prior experience needed. Complete beginners are very welcome. You don’t need any painting experience or drawing skills. Kasia breaks it down into simple steps, so you can follow every one. Most people think they can’t paint. Usually they just never learned how. Already paint? You’ll get structure and honest, individual guidance to polish your skills and sharpen your own style. The aim is to learn the core skills and understand how a painting is built, so you can make your own decisions and find your own style. More about Kasia's watercolour classes here. What you’ll learn: • Water control - how much, when, and when to leave it alone • Colour theory and practical colour mixing • Landscape composition and design • Layering and brush control • Creating light, depth and atmosphere • Painting from photo references • Working with confidence, and letting go of perfection Who it’s for: • Complete beginners who have never painted before • Anyone who thinks they “can’t draw” or “can’t paint” • Artists returning to painting after a break • Intermediate and advanced artists wanting structure, feedback and a chance to polish their skills • Nature and landscape lovers looking for a creative hobby • Locals who fancy a creative evening Enjoy small-group setting, individual feedback and guidance throughout.
