In this relaxed and friendly workshop, Helen will introduce you to the wonderful world of watercolour.
Perfect for complete beginners - or anyone returning to watercolour after a long break - this class will give you a solid foundation to build your confidence with watercolour.
This is the beginning of a beautiful creative practice.
Over the day, you’ll learn:
How to stretch your watercolour paper effectively for easy, consistent results.
How to mix colours and understand the role of water, pigment and timing.
Core watercolour techniques, including wet-in-wet, layering, blending and dry-brush.
Simple, guided exercises to help you begin developing your own style.
Everything is taught step-by-step, with plenty of time for questions, practice and encouragement.
Please bring a packed lunch!
Next steps: Two weeks later, Helen will be hosting Fundamentals of Botanical Art — the perfect follow-on course for anyone who would like to take their new watercolour skills further and explore how we can use watercolour to paint beautiful botanicals.
