Everyday Watercolour: Windows and Walls

Course Description

Explore the character and details that make buildings interesting in this relaxed, beginner-friendly watercolour workshop. We’ll paint a collection of little houses, buildings, windows, doors, and other architectural details while experimenting with ways to suggest texture, age, and personality. You’ll learn how to simplify architectural shapes, create convincing perspective without getting overwhelmed by measuring, and use watercolour techniques to suggest materials such as brick, stone, wood, stucco, and glass. We’ll also play with colour, layering, dry brush, and small details to give each building its own character. 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
