framed watercolour painting

Many artists will have watercolours as their ‘go to’ painting medium of choice. There‘s something about the way the colours blend and flow that makes working with them a bit like a science experiment.

In our watercolour painting session we’ll give you some designs to choose from which you can trace and a tutorial in how to work with the paints. We will also show you how to use watercolour pencils to enhance your artwork and guide you on which size brush is perfect for detail and which is perfect for creating a wash background. We use artists' quality tubes

of watercolour paint as the pigment is beautiful and they are much nicer to work with than pan paints.

The finished artworks are delicate and impressive - especially when they are framed ready to take home.

On booking you can choose a theme from:

• Under the sea

• Fabulous fruit

• Zoo animals

• Galaxy
