Having completed the Watercolour Painting \u00a0Course<\/a> with Jem Bowden<\/a> I was delighted to receive the College Diploma. The whole Course was very instructive an d stimulating. The main messages I took form the tuition was that a successful watercolour \u00a0is 90% planning and 10% doing. And there has to be a range of marks. I was encourage to make several sketches planning composition and tone before picking up \u00a0a brush. This painting of Dedham Hall was done from an on site photograph and sketches. The images show the initial cropping to create a portrait format, the big shape \u00a0tonal design, and the final tonal sketch. This was towards the end of the course when I was beginning \u00a0to understand what Jem \u00a0meant by a \u2018range\u2019 of marks. Light against dark, warm against cool, small against large, rough against smooth etc. All in all the course taught a structured approach to painting a watercolour \u00a0and was well worth the effort.<\/p>\n
