Expressive water colouring is a modern take on a traditional form of painting. It involves an impressionistic style of colouring that is not perfect, also adding bursts of colour in random places adds to the dynamic interest of this modern style.

Also, there will be templates provided of the drawing and the shading to help you complete your works of art.
