What to expect...
Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush before or you've been painting for years, this friendly and inspiring workshop is the perfect opportunity to discover - or rediscover - the beauty of watercolour.
Professional artist Ali Board will guide you through a range of watercolour techniques, combining live demonstrations with plenty of individual support and encouragement throughout the day. Working in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, you'll learn how to build confidence with the medium while developing your own style at a pace that suits you.
Complete beginners are welcome. Ali is an experienced and encouraging tutor who enjoys helping newcomers overcome that daunting first blank sheet of paper, while more experienced artists will have the opportunity to refine their techniques, experiment with new approaches and gain fresh inspiration.
The workshop is designed to be as sociable as it is creative, with plenty of opportunities to chat, share ideas and enjoy the company of fellow members throughout the day. There will be a break for an hour at lunchtime, and if you book a place on the course, we'll get in touch closer to the time to ask if you'd like us to save a seat for you on a shared "art workshop" table in the restaurant for lunch.
A list of materials will be provided to all participants nearer the event. We assume that these additional materials will cost approximately £15 to £20 per person, but are currently awaiting additional information.
Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, improve your painting, or simply enjoy a relaxing and creative day, this promises to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
