Inside the course
Washes That Glow
Watercolor study opens with puddle games, wet-on-wet play, and deep looking — the round brush appears once small hands feel prepared. Older starters advance briskly through gradients, glazing, and group pieces. Every painter joins our Saturday sketch club from their second term onward.

What the Plan Holds
Careful brush fitting
We match each child to the right brush sizes — loaner pan sets sit ready at reception.
Color journey
Hand-picked painting prompts sharpen the eye between lessons, so mixing settles sooner.
Group painting from term two
Shared picture-making builds brush control, color sense, and friendships that sustain motivation.

Parent questions
Watercolor FAQs
Buy pans or tubes — which is wiser?
Pans initially — they travel well and waste nothing. Our studio pan sets are artist-grade and refill freely as children grow.
Is six too young for watercolor?
Not with a gentle launch. We keep early lessons playful with puddle games, so opening classes feel like color play with fast wins.
Will my child exhibit publicly?
Certainly — group shows each term alongside two academy-wide exhibitions, all covered by the plan.
