Explore the beauty and elegance of nature in this 2-hour watercolour workshop focused on painting delicate flowers and expressive leaves. In this session, you’ll learn how to paint florals using the wet-on-dry technique, allowing you to create confident, intentional brushstrokes that capture the natural rhythm of petals, stems, and foliage. With a focus on observation and brushwork, you’ll discover how to hold and move your brush to create expressive marks and natural forms. You’ll explore how to paint graceful flowers and flowing leaves, control brush angle, pressure, and movement, and build simple yet beautiful floral compositions. Along the way, we’ll cover techniques for creating crisp, controlled marks, observing real floral shapes, colour and light, and developing loose, expressive paintings with balance and flow. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your own elegant floral artwork and a deeper confidence in your brushwork and creative expression.

All materials are provided — brushes, paper, and paints — but feel free to bring along your favourite tools if you’d like guidance on how to use what you already have.

Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to develop a loose, expressive watercolour style in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Discover the creative combination of drawing and watercolour in this engaging 2-hour Line & Wash workshop, where expressive ink lines meet soft, flowing colour. We’ll begin with simple sketches using fineliners, exploring how confident lines can define shapes, add structure, and bring personality to your artwork. Once your drawing is in place, you’ll layer it with luminous watercolour washes, allowing colour to flow around and through the ink to create vibrant, eye-catching results. Along the way, you’ll learn how to create expressive drawings with fineliners, enhance your line work with watercolour, and combine both mediums to build depth, contrast, and movement. We’ll also explore techniques such as hatching and stippling, simple observational sketching, and layering transparent washes while finding a balance between line and colour. This mixed media approach encourages play and experimentation while building confidence in both drawing and painting. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your own dynamic line and wash artwork and the skills to continue exploring this versatile style.

All materials are provided — brushes, paper, paints, and fineliners — but you’re welcome to bring your favourite tools if you’d like guidance on how to use what you already have..
