Watercolour Workshop

If you’ve always wanted to paint with watercolours but have never been quite sure where to start, this is the perfect opportunity.

My workshop is a lovely, relaxed introduction to watercolour with beautiful, fresh flowers for inspiration.

I will guide you through the whole process, starting with colour mixing and brushstrokes to create simple leaf and petal shapes, right up to applying the final delicate marks to your painting.

We will try out various techniques and a range of brushes and papers, including a lovely watercolour paper, allowing you to explore. In the afternoon I will help you to produce a painting using the techniques explored earlier in the day.

By the end of the workshop you will have your final painting along with the watercolour practice pieces to take home. To follow up I will email notes on the techniques we covered and where to buy art materials.

Classes are small, with no more than 4 attendees, which means I can spend plenty of time with everyone. I provide all materials along with tea, coffee and biscuits.

This class is 5 hours with an hour lunch break between 12.30 -1.30pm.
Suitable for beginners but anyone with a little more experience is more than welcome.
