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
