Description

In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you’ll be guided through the foundations of watercolour while exploring the beauty of floral forms.

The day unfolds in three parts. We’ll begin by learning the essentials — brush handling, layering, wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques — and gaining an understanding of how watercolour behaves on paper. From there, we’ll move into painting simple florals, breaking them down into shape and structure, and exploring more expressive, intuitive mark-making.

In the final session, you’ll bring everything together. You can work from reference images on your phone, the fresh flowers I’ll have in the studio, or from my own paintings — creating a piece that feels like your own interpretation.

This workshop balances technical skill with creative freedom. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the medium and a collection of works — some ready to frame or gift, others to continue developing, or to keep as studies for future paintings.

*Please note: this is not a Paint and Sip style workshop; it is a focused, skill-based session designed to develop your watercolour skills and techniques.

I will encourage you to embrace the challenge of pushing your boundaries, to let go of expectations, to be open to learn from your mistakes, but most importantly, have fun and enjoy the process! After all, art making is just practice.
