Introduction to Watercolour Florals: Day Course

The Art of Watercolour Florals: Day Retreat

Join us for a calm, immersive creative day in our brand new studio space, where we’re opening the doors in small, intimate groups.

When: Tuesday 4th August
Time: 10:00 – 14:00

In this special extended session, you’ll be gently guided through a range of watercolour techniques inspired by flowers, foliage, and the natural world.

Throughout the day, we’ll explore how to capture the softness and movement of botanicals using delicate washes, layered colour, and simple, effective techniques. Rather than focusing on perfection, this retreat is about slowing down, building confidence, and enjoying the process.

You’ll work in your own sketchbook, giving you space to experiment freely - from loose, expressive florals to more considered botanical studies - creating a collection of pieces that feel cohesive, yet completely your own.

We’ll guide you through:
– Creating soft, fluid washes and gentle blends
– Building depth and detail through layering
– Using water, pigment and brushwork to suggest shape and movement
– Exploring your own colour palette, from soft, muted tones to brighter seasonal blooms

There will be plenty of time to pause, step back, and let your work evolve naturally — making this feel like a true creative reset.

Do I need experience?
Not at all. Everything is gently guided and completely beginner-friendly. Whether you’re brand new or looking to loosen up your style, you’ll feel supported every step of the way.

What’s included?
We provide everything you need:

– Sketchbook
– Acrylic, pastel and/or watercolour options
– Brushes, tools & materials
– Palette knives, sponges & texture tools
– Step-by-step guidance
– Apron

You’ll leave with a collection of seascape studies — and a renewed sense of confidence in your creativity.

Refreshments

We’ll have tea, coffee, cake and biscuits ready for you to enjoy throughout the session - help yourself and settle in for a cosy, creative few hours.

There will be a 30–45 minute break for lunch during our full-day courses. You’re very welcome to bring your own food, and we have a fridge and microwave available for you to use. Alternatively, you can order from The Farmers Arms (just a 2-minute drive away) to collect or enjoy there, and there are also a number of lovely local cafés and shops nearby if you’d prefer to head out for a little break.
