WATERCOLOUR BOTANICALS WORKSHOP
Discover the Art of Painting Nature with Watercolour
Explore the beauty of flowers, leaves, and natural forms in our Watercolour Botanicals workshop – the perfect introduction to painting plants with watercolours. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refresh your skills, this one-day workshop will be perfect.
Under the expert guidance of local artist Elise De Silva, you’ll learn how to capture the delicate textures, subtle gradients, and organic shapes found in leaves, stems and simple flowers. Elise will walk you through watercolour methods which include wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, colour mixing, layering, and brush control – all with a specific focus on botanical subjects.
This relaxing, hands-on class is ideal for:
Nature lovers and creatives looking to try watercolours
Beginners with no prior painting experience
Anyone considering joining Elise’s term-time class, Watercolour Techniques
All materials are included – just bring your curiosity and love of plants! With a calm, welcoming environment and expert support, you’ll leave with your own botanical watercolour artwork and the skills to keep painting at home.
