Taster of Watercolour - Hartford

Join us for a gentle two-evening introduction to the beautiful world of watercolour painting — a calm and mindful course designed to help you slow down, experiment and enjoy the process of painting.

📅 Monday 6th July & Monday 13th July
🕖 6:00pm–8:00pm
📍 Hartford Hall

🎨 What we’ll be exploring:

Across the two evenings, we’ll guide you through the foundations of watercolour painting in a relaxed, beginner-friendly way.

We’ll explore:
✨ Soft flowing washes
✨ Beautiful colour blending
✨ Wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques
✨ Layering and glazing
✨ Creating soft and crisp edges
✨ Simple watercolour studies and a final small painting

This course is all about learning how watercolour behaves, building confidence with the medium and letting go of perfection.

Expect calming colours, loose brushwork, gentle guidance and lots of encouragement along the way.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned creatives alike — you’ll be guided step-by-step and leave with new skills, finished studies and hopefully the confidence to continue painting long after the course finishes.

Do I need to know how to paint?
No! We believe everyone is an artist and we are passionate about showing you that. Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before or you’d love to reconnect with creativity again, we’d love to welcome you along.

What’s included?
We provide all the equipment across both evenings.

Including:
✨ Watercolour paper
✨ Paints (Both pan and tube watercolour - to find your favourite)
✨ Brushes
✨ Palettes
✨ Aprons

You’ll also take home your finished work, practice sheets and plenty of techniques to continue experimenting with at home.

Are refreshments available?

Food and drink is available to purchase at the venue. We usually take a little pause during the evening so you can grab another drink, have a catch up and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

How much?
Just £65 per person for both sessions.

Spaces are limited and we expect this one to fill quickly, so we’d recommend booking soon to avoid disappointment.
