A chance to explore colour and experiment with a versatile medium, watercolour ink allows you to create a wide range of colours and tones to your illustrations and paintings.
Learn how to build up your own colour wheel and tonal ladder, before moving on to choosing your own palette of colours for the day.
Once you have gained confidence in mixing your inks, you will paint your own bookmark and greetings card design to take home.
