Watercolour Workshop for Beginners

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

We meet at 11am, in my studio, with a cup of tea or coffee and
chat. Groups are small with no more than 4 people.
The workshop starts at a gentle pace allowing you to settle in
and learn about handling watercolour, brushes and mixing
colours. Around fifteen minutes in, people often tell me how
relaxed they feel.

Then we step it up for a few minutes with some fun, loosening up techniques, involving some speed painting, before returning to a more relaxed pace.

You will learn watercolour techniques whilst painting flowers
and abstract landscapes resulting in several watercolour studies to take home.

We take a break at around 1pm to get lunch. There are lots of cafes in the area, including Fred’s on the ground floor of the Craft Centre. I provide all materials and reference. You just need to bring an A3 folder or a bag to carry your artwork home.
