Karen Charman SWA
Karen is a fully qualified adult tutor and has been teaching for almost 30 years.
Whilst teaching she includes lots of demonstrations, mainly because she believes that most students want to see how it is done rather than just being left to ‘make their own way’. She explains everything she can so there is less chance of you making errors, she believes that if you can learn in a smooth way then you will make steady progress.
She usually teaches in Watercolour, she personally doesn’t think it is as hard as is sometimes imagined. She also teaches most other mediums and mixed media too.
Her aim is to teach you confidence. Confidence in the use of your equipment and in the colours you choose. You will learn to be confident in deciding what to paint and what methods you are going to employ. Finally you will have the confidence to assess your efforts in order to progress in your painting
She will cover colour mixing and laying down these colours in streak free relaxed washes, large and small, singularly or combined with others.
Design elements, what needs to be included and what must be left aside, and how to make an informed decision.
We will learn how to sketch in a confident, productive and informative way.
How about trying something a bit different? Not wildly throwing stuff around, rather just a bit of a shift to see what happens?
You will not be doing the above as set exercises but will be learning this as you enjoy the subjects you have chosen.

KAREN CHARMAN
Born on the south coast of England; I am a professional artist. My work is heavily influenced by my early life on the South Downs or along the Sussex shoreline. Texture plays a large part in my work as I endeavour to capture the rugged wildness that surrounds us. I also like to leave the viewer to find some of the information in my paintings and decide for themselves what they can see within. Now most of my work is centred on Dartmoor, Exmoor and the coastal villages of the West Country and is mainly watercolour.
I am a qualified adult education tutor which I love. Just to see students develop new skills, take so much more interest in the world around them and become immersed in their art is a joy.
I exhibit my work in London, the West Country and the Home Counties now, but have exhibited in mainland Europe and have work in private collections in the UK, USA, Mainland Europe, Russia and Japan.
