What’s it all about?

Watercolour is a fun, fresh and flexible medium with heaps of contemporary applications. So come along and discover the art of floral watercolour illustration!

We will learn the basics of watercolour paints and how to create fun, simple and contemporary floral motifs. Plus we’ll find out how to use these elements to create stunning floral patterns and designs.

What we will cover?

This beginner’s painting class will focus on developing your contemporary watercolour and illustration skills. You’ll also grow your confidence so that you can start to develop your own style.

The workshop will start with a colour mixing demonstration. You will become familiar with the paints and different effects that can be created with watercolours. Then you’ll learn simple brush strokes for creating leaves, flowers and stems. Plus, how to layer patterns and lines to create an illustrative and contemporary style.

All materials including watercolour paints, paper, brushes and workbooks are included. They are yours to take home after the session.
