This three-hour workshop offers gentle, expert guidance in the basics of watercolour and ink painting, encouraging a relaxed approach and the development of your own expressive style. Inspired by summer flora, we will work with plants from the Duchy gardens and hedgerows. Our focus will be on slowing down, taking time for observation , with tips to create a gentle flow to your brushwork.

Calm and informative, with time to enjoy a pause for homemade cakes alongside speciality teas and coffees.

You will leave with a finished botanical painting, ready to frame, and everything you need to continue your own watercolour journey. All levels welcome.
