5 Week Course: Watercolor Foundations & Water Control 水彩基礎與控水技巧課程(Oct 24 - Nov 21, 2026)

(Scroll down for english description)

課程簡介：

這是一個為期 5 週、由水彩藝術家 RAINB.W（Rainbow）親自授課的實體課程，內容涵蓋水彩基礎與水彩調控技巧。本課程適合有意認真建立並精進水彩技法的初學者。

課程介紹：

水彩是一種美麗卻極具挑戰性的媒材。在學習這項技法時，我們許多人往往直接投入作畫，邊做邊學，卻沒有人清楚闡述其基本要素，或剖析這項媒材的運作原理。水彩課程通常很快就會直接進入主題繪畫，結果導致學生沒有機會明確掌握那些真正能帶來顯著差異的基礎技巧，例如：

• 不同畫筆與畫紙的選擇如何大幅改變創作效果
• 如何培養敏銳度與直覺，以掌握畫紙的濕度
• 理解至關重要的水與顏料比例，以及它如何影響您每一次的上色與每一筆畫

這正是我決定開設這個名為「水彩基礎與控水技巧」課程的原因。

本課程專為那些認真致力於建立並精進技法的初學者設計。我們將放慢步調，從基礎開始——仔細培養控水、筆法運用及直覺這三大核心基礎——然後將所學應用於實際的城市風景畫創作中。在為期 5 週的課程中，我們將在每堂課共同進行多項練習與實作，並在課程結束時完成 3 幅完整的城市風景畫。

課程日期與時間：

10月24日、31日，11月7日、14日、21日

每週六 上午11:00至下午1:15。（共5週）

第 1 週（10/24）：水彩工具與基礎

第 2 週（10/31）：神奇的第一層

第 3 週（11/07）：增添結構——濕畫與乾畫技法的融合

第 4 週（11/14）：精進技巧與手部動作

為什麼這門課程著重於「水」的掌控？

要畫好水彩畫，我們必須深入了解如何掌控水彩中的「水」。我們或許對畫作的樣貌有著絕佳的構思與構想，但若未能培養出對水的敏銳感知與掌控技巧，便無法將腦海中的畫面呈現出來。「控水」包含對筆、紙、水、顏料、時機與技法之間如何相互影響、同時作用的理解。這是每個層級都至關重要的基礎。若您希望認真提升水彩繪畫技巧，在此所學的內容將對您大有幫助。

本課程以何種語言授課？

本課程將以廣東話授課。

這門課程適合初學者嗎？

是的，這門課程適合希望在水彩畫領域建立紮實且持久基礎的初學者。我們會循序漸進，將每個環節細分為步驟，讓您不會感到不知所措。話雖如此，我設計這個課程時著重於實質的進步：隨著課程推進，從簡單的練習（如漸層和基礎暈染）到第五週繪製完整的夜間城市景觀，您將會面臨適度的挑戰。我們透過實踐來提升與進步——嘗試、犯錯，然後再次嘗試。一旦您透過這門課程掌握了相關概念與理解，日後便能更清楚地知道如何自行練習並持續精進。

這門課程與您其他課程有何不同？

如果你之前參加過我其他為期一天的工作坊，你應該知道那些課程都是針對特定城市風景畫的、相當直截了當的逐步教學。相較之下，這個課程的步調較為緩慢，我們會將技法拆解得更為細緻，內容涵蓋從材料與工具的準備開始，到具體的練習與演練，之後才會一起繪製幾幅城市風景畫。

傳統繪畫課程的主要難點之一，在於我們往往跳過技法教學，過早進入主題繪製階段，對於剛起步的畫家而言更是如此。本課程的設計理念恰恰相反：我們會先花費充足的時間打好紮實的基礎，這樣當我們最終將這些技法應用於完整的城市風景畫時，學員便能擁有更清晰的理解、更強的掌控力，並能辨識出哪裡出了問題、該如何改進等。

我需要準備哪些繪畫材料？

所有繪畫材料都會在課堂上提供給您使用。如果您想在家多加練習，則需要自行購買居家使用的工具。Rainbow 將在開課第一天提供一份推薦工具清單給您。

這個課程會教我關於繪畫的一切知識嗎？

不會，而且這是刻意為之。本課程著重於水彩畫的基礎：水控。在第 3、4 和 5 週的完整城市景觀示範中，我們會輕觸其他主題——例如基本的色彩選擇和簡化構圖——因為這些內容會自然而然地出現。但我們不會深入探討色彩理論或詳細的素描技巧；這些內容將留待後續課程或另行練習。我刻意將練習題和畫作在色彩與線描上保持簡約，以便你能將全部注意力集中在學習水與畫筆的運作方式上。正如我在開頭所說，我認為掌握控水技巧是基礎，也是能幫助你大幅進步的關鍵。這就是為什麼本課程特別專注於控水技巧。

如果您有興趣學習光線與色彩技巧，我將於 10 月／11 月開設另一個課程。點 擊 此處了解更多詳情。

Course description:

This is a 5-week in-person course on watercolor foundations and water control taught by watercolor artist RAINB.W (Rainbow). This course is suitable for beginner painters who are serious about building and refining their watercolor technique.

Class introduction:

Watercolor is a beautiful yet very challenging medium. When learning this medium, many of us get thrown straight into painting, picking things up along the way, without anyone clearly explaining the fundamental elements or breaking down the inner workings of this medium. Painting classes often jump straight into painting subjects very quickly, and as a result, students do not have the chance to clearly learn the foundational skills that make a real difference, such as:

• How different brush and paper choices can dramatically change your results
• How to develop the sensitivity and intuition to read the wetness of the paper
• Understanding the crucial water-to-paint ratio and how it affects every application and every stroke you make

This is why I decided to create this class “Watercolor Foundations and Water Control.”

This class is designed for beginner painters who are serious about building and refining their technique. We will slow things down and start right from the beginning — carefully developing the essential foundations of water control, brush handling, and intuition — before applying everything to real cityscape paintings. In the 5 weeks, we will go through many drills and practice exercises together in each class, and paint 3 full cityscapes in total.

Course Date and Time:

October 24, 31, November 7, 14, 21 

Saturdays 11:00-1:15pm. (5 weeks in total)

Week 1 (10/24): Watercolor Tools and Foundations
Week 2 (10/31): The Magical First Layer
Week 3 (11/07): Adding Structure – Blending Wet and Dry Techniques
Week 4 (11/14): Refining Skills and Hand Movement
Week 5 (11/21): Putting it all together

Location: Unit 802, 8/F, United China Plaza, 1008 Tai Nan West Street, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon. (1 min walk from Lai Chi Kok MTR exit B1) 香港九龍長沙灣大南西街1008號華匯廣場8樓802 (荔枝角地鐵站 B1出口步行1分鐘)

Language: Class will be taught in Cantonese. (If you are an English speaker, please let me know, I may open an english class if we have enough interest)

Who is this class for: Absolute beginners in watercolor, beginner painters.

Limited spaces available, first come first served. Course fee is a flat rate, students must sign up for the full program, there is no credit or makeup for missed classes. Register at www.rainbw.art/class

Why is this class focused on water control?

In order to paint well in watercolor, we have to become well acquainted with how to control the “water” of watercolor. We can have great vision and ideas of how we want a painting to look, but if we don’t develop the sensitivity and skill in water control, we won’t be able to paint what we have in our mind. Water control includes knowledge of how our brushes, paper, water, paint, timing, and technique all interchangeably and simultaneously influence each other. This is foundational and crucial at every level. What you learn here will help you if you want to seriously improve your watercolor painting technique.

What language is this course conducted in?

This course will be taught in Cantonese. If you are an English speaker and you are interested in taking this course in-person, please let me know. If I have enough people interested, I will consider opening a class in English next time. Because this class includes a lot of talking and explaining concepts, it will be more difficult to do bilingual simultaneously (which I usually do in my short 1-day workshops).

Is this course suitable for beginners?

Yes, this course is suitable for beginner painters who want to build strong, lasting foundations in watercolor. We’ll take things slow, breaking everything down step by step so nothing feels overwhelming. That said, I designed it with real progress in mind: expect to be gently challenged as we move from simple exercises (like gradients and basic washes) to painting full night cityscapes by Week 5. We improve and progress through doing — trying, making mistakes, and trying again. Once you have learned the concepts and understanding through this course, you will have a much better grasp on how to practice and continue improving on your own afterwards.

How is this different from your other classes?

If you have taken my other 1-day workshops before, you will know that they are quite straightforward step-by-step walkthroughs of a specific cityscape painting. This class, on the other hand, takes a slower pace and we break down the techniques in much more detail, covering everything from the beginning of materials and tools to specific drills and exercises, before we go on and paint several cityscape paintings together.

One of the main difficulties for conventional painting classes is that we skip technique and go to painting subjects too quickly, especially for painters who are just starting out. This class is designed to do the opposite: we spend focused time building solid foundations first, so that when we finally apply the techniques to full cityscapes, students have a clearer understanding, stronger control, and will be able to identify what went wrong, how to improve, etc.

What painting materials do I need?
All painting materials will be provided for you to use during class in person. If you want to practice more at home, you will need to purchase your own tools for home use. Rainbow will give you a list of recommended tools on the first day of class.

Will this course teach me everything I need to know about painting?

No, and that is intentional. This course focuses on the foundations of watercolor: water control. We touch lightly on other things — like basic color choices and simplifying a composition — during the full cityscape demos in Weeks 3, 4, and 5, because they come up naturally. But we do not cover deep color theory or detailed sketching; those are for later courses or separate practice. I kept the exercises and paintings simple in color and drawing so you can put all your attention on learning how water and the brush behave. Like I said in the beginning, I believe that learning water control is foundational and is what is going to help you improve seriously. That is why this course is specifically focused on water control.
