Recent reviews of Watercolour Basics Workshop: Venice Doorways

  • 5/5 from Michelle Turnham, attended Oct 2026: Very relaxed friendly atmosphere. Gino communicated his ideas well and was very encouraging. I learnt about the paint properties and how to best apply them to paper, to lay down colour first and detail after dried, to use salt for interesting effect, etc.
