Everyday Watercolour: Little Leaves

Course Description

Slow down and enjoy a little bit of autumn in watercolour. In this relaxed, cozy workshop, we’ll explore the colours, shapes, and details of autumn leaves, from warm golden yellows and glowing oranges to deep reds, earthy browns, and everything in between. You’ll learn how to mix rich, natural autumn colours, create the delicate shapes and textures of leaves, and use layering, glazing, dry brush, and other watercolour techniques to capture their changing colours and subtle details. We’ll work through a few smaller studies before bringing what we’ve learned together into a finished autumn-inspired painting. No previous watercolour experience is needed. Whether you’re new to watercolour or already have some experience, you’ll have demonstrations, guidance, and individual support throughout the workshop. All supplies are provided. Come enjoy an evening of painting, autumn colours, and a little time to slow down and appreciate the season. Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time or looking to rediscover your creativity, the Everyday Watercolour Workshop Series is designed to help you feel comfortable exploring watercolour at your own pace. Each workshop features a different theme, giving you the opportunity to try new subjects, techniques, and creative approaches while building a strong foundation in watercolour. Every session begins with an introduction to the medium, including essential techniques, colour mixing, and practical tips to help you better understand how watercolour behaves. You'll then follow along with step-by-step demonstrations before creating your own finished painting to take home. These workshops are designed to encourage curiosity, experimentation, and confidence. Rather than focusing on perfection, you'll learn how to embrace the unique qualities of watercolour while developing skills you can continue to use in your own creative practice. No previous experience is required, and all materials and supplies are included. Just bring yourself and a willingness to play, learn, and enjoy the process. What to expect: - A new theme and project in every workshop - A guided introduction to watercolour techniques and colour mixing - Step-by-step demonstrations and individual support - All supplies provided - A finished painting to take home at the end of the session
