Swatch and Learn: Know your Paints

We offer a no-questions-asked 14-day money-back guarantee, counting from the purchase date.

This is a 3-part structured course broken down into 1-hour long classes, designed and taught by artist, Kitty Maer (@kitty.maer). Why swatch your colours? To understand your watercolour paints better! By familiarising yourself with your pigments, you'll learn their behaviour, how they interact, and how to substitute them. This will help you develop your own unique palette effortlessly.

At the end of this course, you'll learn:

• A simple way to think about the colour wheel and how to make use of it;

• A systematic method to make the swatching process less daunting and more efficient;

• Several varieties of swatching methods;

• Mixing greys, blacks, browns, and neutral tint;

• Finding new life within your least favourite colours;

• “Blind dates” - having fun experimenting with random mixes based on what you’ve learned so far;

• How to think about creating custom palettes that meet your needs.

• Watercolour paper or sketchbook

• Pencil & eraser and/or permanent ink pen

• Watercolour paints

• Brushes

• Eye dropper or pipp

• FLAT mixing surface (palette or ceramic plate)
