All Professional Quality Supplies included.

Ages 13+

This one-day workshop is all about embracing the beauty of watercolour and learning to let the medium do the work. Caitlin will guide you in painting more freely, using wet-into-wet techniques, loose brushwork, and simple palettes to create luminous textures and interesting effects. With botanicals and still life as the subjects, you’ll see how naturally watercolour lends itself to organic, expressive painting.

With 10 years of teaching experience, Caitlin is passionate about helping students discover their creative practice and personal strengths. As a painter, she’s drawn to quiet, moody/ soft scenes and the art of saying more with less—an approach she loves to share in her classes. See Caitlin’s instagram here: @caitlin_jeffs 

This workshop is perfect for all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced painters wanting to loosen up and explore new techniques. You’ll leave with a finished botanical painting (painted on beautiful 300gsm paper) and the confidence to continue experimenting at home.

What you’ll learn:

• Wet-into-wet painting techniques
• How to use a limited colour palette for mixing 
• Loose and expressive brushwork
• How to use from life studies as a tool to loosen up
  
• How to create a colour palette for your painting
  
• Creating textures and interesting effects
  
• Simple design principles for stronger compositions
