		*What will I need?*

Welcome to Learn to do Watercolour Painting
To start, download and print off the pages of instruction, the section divider and the template for the backing stand from the links below. You can file these in a ring binder and add other pages as the course goes on.

Then listen to the audio track below which gives you an introduction to the course and the best way of using the material.

The video clip gives you some tips on looking after your paints and brushes. You can either watch it from the screen below (you may need to click twice on the play button) or download it and save it for viewing when you are offline.

The course is very practical and the best way to learn is by doing. So get your paints out and work along with the material. Take each Part of the course in turn and work carefully through the material provided before moving on to the next Part.
When you are ready you can go to Part 2 of the course from the link at the bottom of this webpage.
