Cultivate your creative confidence and build a lifelong practice with watercolour.
Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time or looking to return to your creative practice, these four-week workshops offer a welcoming space to slow down, experiment and learn the foundations of watercolour.
Across four Sunday afternoons, we'll explore colour, observation, composition and foundational techniques, building your understanding of the medium one experiment at a time. With all materials provided and individual guidance along the way, you'll develop the confidence to keep exploring long after the workshop ends.
Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and discover the joy of making with watercolour.
What to Expect-
We'll begin with the essentials: understanding your materials, working with a limited cool/warm primary palette, and learning how water and pigment interact. No prior watercolour experience is required.
-
Learn how to mix secondary colours from a carefully selected set of warm and cool primaries. You'll create your own swatch chart to use as a practical colour reference throughout the weekend and beyond.
-
Discover how much depth can be created from a single colour by changing your water-to-paint ratio. We'll build a series of light washes before applying our understanding of value to painting simple forms from life.
-
Sunday moves beyond the foundations into applied colour theory and negative painting. You'll experiment with techniques that encourage you to think differently about colour, shape, and the spaces around your subject.
-
This isn't about producing a perfect painting by the end of the weekend. It's about understanding the medium well enough to work with it confidently. You'll leave with practical tools, a body of experiments, and a foundation you can continue building on.
