Exploring Materials: Watercolour

watercolour - 21

Watercolour is a water-based paint with vibrant pigments that come to life when mixed with water. It’s great for creating soft blends, delicate washes, and beautiful transparent layers of colour.

Find resources on this page which help aid that exploration, and projects and pathways which help develop skills and understanding.

All resources can be adapted to all age groups from children through to adult.
