Intermediate Watercolour

Take Your Watercolour to the Next Level with Mark Glavina
For students ready to move beyond the basics, this class is designed to help you elevate your watercolour skills and begin developing your own unique style and artistic voice. If you’ve ever felt stuck copying the instructor or unsure how to take the next step, this course will give you the tools and confidence to break through.

With the guidance of Mark Glavina, you’ll revisit essential watercolour techniques—not for technical perfection, but as part of a broader framework for stronger design and composition. Each week, you’ll be challenged to interpret a new reference photo, create thumbnail sketches, and build a personalized plan for your painting. You’ll also dive into the fundamentals of design—value, shape, colour, and composition—to create thoughtful, expressive watercolour pieces.

• • Week 1: Soft Edges & Atmospheric Washes (Turner, Zbukvic)
