Winter Wreaths in Watercolour

Join me this winter for a cosy, calming evening painting festive wreaths in watercolour! There’s something so special about nature’s colour palette at this time of year.

Step outside into your local park and you’ll notice dreamy, faded tones, with the occasional pop of deep red, purple or orange. In this 2.5-hour workshop, we’ll capture the magic of winter by creating our own unique seasonal watercolour wreath. I’ll guide you every step of the way with demonstrations, hands-on practice, sketching your composition and, finally, painting your own wonderful wreath! 2.5 hours · Max. 6 people · All materials included · Taught in English

What you’ll learn:

Practising botanical shapes – I’ll show you how to get the most out of your brush, from feather-light details to juicy washes of colour. You’ll practise painting different flora and fauna, such as leaves, twigs, pine needles, berries and birds.

Colour palette – Learn how to create a beautiful and harmonious wintry colour palette and experiment with shimmering metallic watercolours for delicate gold details.

Composition, depth and harmony – Explore how to layer botanical elements to create flow and depth using techniques such as wet-on-wet and glazing. I’ll show you how I structure and layer different botanical shapes to create flow and visual harmony.

Painting your wreath – With your new skills and confidence, you’ll paint your own beautiful winter wreath! I’ll be there to support you, and there’ll be plenty of visual inspiration to guide you, from examples of my own paintings to seasonal foraged objects such as hawthorn berries and pine cones.

What’s included:

All materials are included, along with tea and snacks to enjoy while we settle into the flow of watercolour painting.

Who it’s for:

All levels are very welcome at this workshop, whether you’re completely new to watercolour or already love painting with it!
