The Program


Session 1

Playful Beginnings

We’ll  Warm-up exercises with colour and water, including explanation and demonstration of playful techniques.
Session 2

Play with Purpose

Shaping washes and wet-into-wet areas into landscape forms, guided by demonstration of layering, edges, and blending techniques.


Session 3

Revisiting & Choosing

  Discussion and review of earlier play-artworks, with clarification of ways to identify potential in a painting. Then we will select one to develop further.

Session 4

Editing the Landscape

Guided support in revisiting and reworking to refine your chosen piece, applying techniques shown in earlier sessions. 


Session 5

Evaluation & Final Rework

  With the paintings displayed on an easel, evaluation is an important step. This allows constructive input from both the tutor and fellow attendees – discussion on the final subtle changes to occur, to allow the painting to reach its best potential.

Roslyn Hartwig uses a step-by-step demonstration method in her classroom to guide students through the drawing process until they have completed their work. Courses often include exercises and visual 'play' to enhance learning and creativity. Her workshops promote a relaxed and fun environment that challenges you to practice the technical aspects of watercolour. Roslyn encourages students to embrace the learning curve, emphasizing that perfection is not expected when trying a new technique for the first time.
