Service Description

Slow down, explore your creativity and discover the beauty of watercolour in this welcoming four-week course. Designed especially for beginners, each class introduces a new technique while guiding you through the creation of a beautiful finished painting. Each week, you’ll explore a new subject and build your skills as you go: Week 1: Watercolour Foundations + Loose Botanicals Learn the basics of watercolour, including brush control, washes, colour mixing and layering, while creating a delicate loose botanical painting featuring soft, flowing leaves and branches. Week 2: Wildflower Meadow Bring a meadow to life with colourful flowers, delicate stems and grasses. You’ll explore layering, movement and colour variation while creating a vibrant, expressive wildflower scene. Week 3: Serene Watercolour Landscape Create a peaceful landscape featuring distant mountains, evergreen trees, a calm lake and reflections. You’ll learn how to use soft washes, layering and atmospheric details to create a sense of depth and distance. Week 4: Abstract Florals + Creative Expression Bring everything together with a loose, expressive floral painting. You’ll explore playful colour, abstract shapes, splashes and creative mark-making while developing your own personal style. No previous painting experience is required. Simply bring your curiosity and enjoy the calming, creative process. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with four original pieces of artwork, new watercolour skills and the confidence to continue painting at home.
