Enjoy the beauty and magic of Watercolour by painting florals and foliage with a seasonal twist. ‘There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose because before he paints it he must first forget all the roses that were ever painted’ – Henri Matisse 10:30 – 1:30 All materials included Are you looking to take some time out during the busy festive season and create with Watercolours?

At school Art (particularly painting) and Textiles were my favourite subjects. After completing an Art Foundation Course I went in to study Textile Design (BA Hons Textile Design, Nottingham Trent University). Recently, I had the opportunity to really focus in on my passion for Watercolour painting. I refreshed my skills via classes online and joined artists’ communities. I developed a daily Watercolour practice and found it so satisfying to paint both floral pieces and landscapes/seascapes. My work began to flourish and I began selling my art online and locally. I started sharing my knowledge by leading a couple of workshops in my local area and I love sharing what I’ve learned!
