Watercolour Basics

This workshop is designed as a calm and welcoming space to slow down, paint, and reconnect with the joy of making things by hand – while also building a strong foundation in the essentials of watercolour painting.

Through guided exercises and individual support, you’ll learn everything from how to work with water and pigment through brush pressure, layering, and colour mixing. The sessions are designed to help you switch off mentally, focus on the rhythm of painting, and settle into a relaxed creative flow without the pressure of perfectionism.

This is not a “copy exactly what the teacher does” type of class. The aim is to help you build confidence and control with watercolour, develop a stronger eye for colour and observation, and create paintings that feel personal to you.

The atmosphere is intentionally relaxed and open. You can join regularly throughout the full workshop period or simply come when you need a creative evening to reset, focus, and paint alongside others.
