- Overview
- Discover the joy of watercolour in this friendly, beginner-friendly class, where curiosity, colour and creativity come together. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or simply looking for a relaxing way to explore your artistic side, this welcoming class is all about experimenting, learning and enjoying the process. We’ll explore both loose, expressive watercolour styles and tighter, more detailed approaches, discovering how different techniques can create a variety of effects. You’ll learn the basics of watercolour painting, including washes, blending and layering, while exploring colour theory, mixing your own colours and understanding how different combinations can create mood and atmosphere. We’ll also experiment with a range of watercolour brushes, discovering how different shapes, sizes and movements can create exciting marks, textures and patterns. Through playful exercises and guided activities, you’ll be encouraged to follow your curiosity, try new techniques and develop your own creative style. There’s no pressure to create a perfect painting or have any previous experience — just an opportunity to slow down, explore and enjoy some mindful creative time.
