Hi everyone

I will be running the Beginners Watercolour Course from Monday 26th January 2026.  Please note the closing date is Friday 16th January 2026.  Scroll down for further information.

Beginners Watercolour Course

Headingley Parish Hall, St Michael’s Road, Headingley, LS6 3AW.

Mondays 10am – 12pm – morning course (Ref: WCOLMORN)

Mondays 6.30pm – 8.30pm – evening course (Ref: WCOLEVE)

Start date: Monday 26th January 2026 – this course will run for 7 weeks.

Price: £70

In this course you will start with the basics of watercolour painting including colour mixing, brush control and how to build up a picture using different techniques.  You will work from a range of two dimensional and three dimensional subjects to practise these techniques.  The aim of the course is to provide a starting point for the complete beginner from which to develop their painting skills and subsequently be able to continue to progress independently following the course.

This course will run twice on Mondays, please state which time slot you would like when booking.

All materials will be provided during the lessons.

All classes will be taught by myself, Wendy Atton BA (Hons).   If you would like to view my work please visit my website at http://www.wendyatton.co.uk or my instagram page @wendyatton_artist.  Please note that places cannot be reserved without full payment and all fees are non-refundable in part or in full.  These classes are open to anyone aged 18 or over.

If you have any questions or would like to book a place please get in touch by either email:leedsartgroup@yahoo.co.uk or telephone: 07788 871286.  Payment can be made by bank transfer or cheque.  If you already have my online payment details please use the correct reference when booking and please drop me an email when you have paid so that I can confirm receipt and book you on the correct class.
