Christmas In Watercolours
Learn simple watercolour painting techniques to create your very own Christmas tree, bauble and robin-themed Christmas cards.
Perfect for beginners, this relaxed adults-only workshop will introduce you to the basics of drawing and watercolour painting. You'll learn simple sketching techniques, essential watercolour skills and have the opportunity to practise before creating your finished designs.
Rather than working from a single template, you'll be guided through three festive motifs that can be combined and personalised to create cards that are uniquely yours:
π Christmas Tree
Learn how to build a simple tree design using soft washes, texture and decorative details.
π΄ Festive Bauble
Create a beautifully decorated Christmas bauble using colour blending, highlights and pattern.
πͺΆΒ Winter Robin
Learn how to draw and paint a festive robin using simple shapes, layered colour and shading techniques.
During the workshop, participants will learn:
β’ Basic drawing techniques for each motif
β’ Wet-on-wet watercolour techniques
β’ Wet-on-dry watercolour techniques
β’ Colour blending and layering
β’ Creating highlights and shadows
β’ Simple methods for adding detail and texture
The workshop will be delivered at a relaxed and informal pace, making the afternoon an enjoyable and calming creative experience.
By the end of the session, you will have had the opportunity to create:
β’ A Christmas tree card
β’ A festive bauble card
β’ A robin Christmas card
If time allows, participants are welcome to continue experimenting with additional designs and colour combinations.
All materials will be provided, and no previous drawing or painting experience is required.
