Dip into Watercolour: July 17th, 2025 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Explore Colour, Texture, and Detail
In this class, I’ll introduce you to the joy of watercolour – a wonderfully fluid and expressive medium. We’ll start with the basics of colour mixing and explore some watercolour techniques to help you gain confidence and control with the paint.
Once our washes are dry, we’ll bring our artwork to life by adding detail and depth using coloured pencils – a lovely way to add contrast, texture, and your own unique style.
This session is perfect for anyone new to watercolour, as well as those looking to reconnect with their creativity. Whether you’re just starting out or picking up a brush after a break, you’re very welcome.
