Discover the lively personality of watercolour.

Through a series of exercises with expert tutor Leo Crane, each week, you’ll explore a different way to use this versatile medium, from luminous manuscript painting to precision illustration and spontaneous mark-making.

By the end of the course, you will have tried out a variety of techniques, creating a mini portfolio of sample pieces and a final project:

• Learn from our world-class experts wherever, whenever: watch classes live or view the recording later in your own time.

• Time to explore: 12 hours of live classroom sessions over six weeks.

• Consolidate your learning: watch over 20 specially commissioned How To videos to support your course. Receive feedback from the class tutor on your work.

• Deepen your understanding: weekly Spotlight Sessions with V&A Curators, art historians and practicing artists explore the background to the projects.

• Learn at your own pace: lecture recordings and study materials are available for six weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a minute.

• A list of readily available materials will be sent out in advance of the course. This course is suitable for beginners and is open to participants aged 18 plus.
