Adults and young people GCSE+
The Workshop:
Join artist Kate Broadhurst for a joyful full day of painting, exploring the beauty and colour of wildflowers while learning the essential skills of watercolour.
Whether you’re completely new to painting, haven’t picked up a brush for years, or simply want to develop your existing skills, this workshop is designed to build confidence and give you a really good grounding in watercolour.
Throughout the day, Kate will take you through the essential techniques of watercolour painting. You’ll explore colour mixing and creating your own palette, controlling water and pigment, layering and washes, building depth and tone, creating texture and capturing the delicate shapes and details found in flowers and foliage.
You’ll learn how to really observe your subject and translate what you see onto paper. How do you create the translucent quality of a petal? Mix those beautiful natural greens? Build a flower from simple shapes? Or suggest a mass of grasses and foliage without painting every single detail?
Working from a gorgeous selection of wildflower imagery, Kate will demonstrate techniques step by step, with plenty of opportunity to practise and experiment along the way. You may also introduce a little gouache, a medium Kate is known for using within her own work, and discover how its more opaque qualities can work beautifully alongside watercolour.
This isn’t about creating a perfect painting straight away. It’s a whole day to learn, practise, experiment and paint, with individual guidance and encouragement from Kate throughout. You’ll gradually bring everything you’ve learnt together to create your own colourful wildflower painting to take home.
Perfect for beginners and improvers, and particularly lovely if you missed out on a place in one of our weekly classes for the new term. This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in a full day of creative learning, cover those all-important watercolour essentials and discover just how much you can learn in a day.
New skills. Greater confidence. And a beautiful day spent painting the joy of wildflowers.
