Let me show you how to paint these fun, simple but effective trees. It’s a wonderful introduction to loose, flowing wet on wet technique 

Have you fancied having a bash at watercolour painting but are not sure where to start? 

Would you like to learn how to paint in a loose flowing watercolour style without too much fussing? 

Then this is the perfect beginning class to get you started! 

I’ve taught this very simple short class to many artists, some just starting out their watercolour journey others wanting to loosen up their own style. So I know you will take many tips and inspiration away from this class as many of my students have already done!

I will show you:

  • How best to apply paint onto wet paper without over fussing 
  • Learn to tilt paper and have the confidence to allow paint to move 
  • Add water to create new interesting marks 
  • Discover some of my favourite paints and paper
  • The simple joy of allowing paint to create beautiful and unique marks

You will be creating a wonderful, loose, simple tree line and be inspired that in a short time you’ve been able to produce something you are proud of. It will get your creative juices flowing and enable you to see all possibilities of using these simple techniques

So come and join me!
