Courses description

Designed to nourish your wellbeing and grow your artistic confidence, this popular course returns to explore nature's abundance this Autumn. Each week, you will explore a new botanical subject - including plants, trees and fungi - and use them as inspiration for your own watercolour artworks. Along the way, Holly will guide you through accessible, step-by-step techniques, helping you grow a body of beautiful seasonal paintings.

More than just a painting class, this course is about slowing down, tuning into nature, and enjoying the process of creating without pressure.

What you will learn and take away:

~ Gentle warm-up drawing techniques to relax your body and mind

~ Practical watercolour painting tips to build skill and confidence

~ Ways to enjoy the creative process over any outcomes

~ A mindful approach to creativity that supports your wellbeing

~ A personal portfolio of autumnal artwork

~ Tools and tips to continue your creative journey beyond the course

~ A deeper connection to the natural world through an artistic lens

No prior experience is needed - just bring yourself and a willingness to explore. All levels and abilities are warmly welcome.
