Workshops

Adults Beginners Watercolour Classes -  Step into a world of colour, nature, and creative fun with our beginner-friendly watercolour classes! Playful sessions painting  different themes on floral themes - Birdhouses dusted with fresh snow and winter florals , wide frosty winter fields with grazing sheep, cheerful carpets of spring flowers, and sun-dappled lime-green woodland scenes and bluebells. You’ll explore charming country house gardens, rustic vegetable plots bursting with leafy greens and ripening produce, and delicate climbing sweet peas with curling tendrils and soft pastel petals.

Each class is designed for beginners, with easy techniques like soft washes, gentle layering, colour mixing, and expressive brushwork, pen and ink out lining, and watch your paintings come to life. Perfect for anyone who loves nature, wants a creative escape, or just wants to have fun with watercolour!
