What You’ll Learn in This Watercolour Class

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have learned how to:

Choose a strong reference photo for watercolour painting
Set up your workspace for success
Draw a simple outline as a solid starting point
Layer watercolour from light to dark without making colours muddy
Paint realistic petals, stems and leaves with depth and form
Mix and expand your range of greens for natural-looking foliage
Add contrast and highlights to give your painting depth
Control edges – when to keep them soft and when to make them crisp
Use basic colour-correcting techniques when something doesn’t quite look right
Apply brush techniques for fine details – think tiny veins on leaves and delicate petal edges
