Flowers & Foliage in Watercolour, 1st June - 6th July 10am-12pm

This six-week watercolour course explores the beauty, structure, and vitality of flowers and foliage. Suitable for beginners and improvers, it offers a clear and encouraging path into botanical painting.

We begin with simple, enjoyable exercises designed to loosen the hand and remove the fear of the blank page. You’ll learn fun and accessible ways of creating floral images using watercolour’s natural flow and transparency

From there, the course gradually deepens. We move on to more complex structures of petals and leaves. You’ll develop a stronger understanding of proportion, spacing, and composition, alongside practical skills in layering washes, preserving light, and mixing fresh, natural colour.

Watercolour is particularly suited to capturing the softness of petals and the translucence of leaves. Throughout the six weeks, you’ll learn how to balance control with freedom — keeping paintings lively while building accuracy and depth.

The course concludes with a personally chosen image to paint.

£100. Please see below for the materials you need to bring with you.

 
 

Also bring an HB & 4B pencil, an eraser, and sharpener if using wooden pencils
