U3A Benalla - Colour Mixing and Watercolour Techniques

Demonstrating 'the process' at our final class was rewarding ...

29/5/2025

Sadly today was my last class - I have met some beautiful people who are passionate about their art and now, their colours too.

Demonstrating 'the process' today was very rewarding - a lot of the uncertainty regarding method and technique was washed away.

Good luck to all of my students with their creative journeys - hopefully I have managed to give all of you a more positive approach to your future masterpieces.

Stay well and warm,

We have now had four classes, and our colour mixing has moved on to seeing what six colours can create. I hear lots of ‘WoW’s’. Great fun, great people.

The first two classes in this new course have been amazing. Attendees are happy and enjoying exploring a new colour theory.

I’m looking forward to unique, great outcomes at the course progresses.
