Watercolour Painting
If you've always wanted to be able to sit down and relax while you paint some florals in watercolour, this is the class for you.
We will be working on multiple small sheets of top-quality textured watercolour paper. You'll learn how you can create all the colours you need from just three tubes of professional watercolour paint.
First, we'll start by working on some exercises to practise our colour mixing and we'll try out the different petal and leaf shapes we can create with just a couple of brushes. Please note that line art transfers will be provided if you don't like the idea of painting freehand.
You will learn how to create different textural effects and how different ratios of water and paint will affect the appearance of your brushstrokes. Alex will guide you step by step through a number of simple flower paintings, where we'll experiment with both a looser, expressive style and a slightly more refined approach.
In the final portion of the class, you'll have time to keep painting on your own. At this time you can continue working on one of your existing pieces or you might like to try out some new pieces or new colour variants with one of the flowers we've already painted. Alex will be available to answer any of your questions and she will continue with any further demonstrations as needed.
Each sheet of paper we'll be working on is cut to a standard frame size, so this is the perfect time to create a special gift for Christmas or you can easily frame one of your new paintings for display at home.
Our goal is to give you a fantastic starting point, so you feel prepared to confidently begin painting your watercolour florals at home and for you to know exactly which materials you can start with, without needing a huge budget.
Please note: This class is booked into the upstairs space at Hive Studios, which requires walking up two flights of stairs. If this is an issue for you, please get in touch, and we can see if the downstairs space is available instead. Thank you!
