Watercolour Painting
In this comprehensive 6-week watercolour painting workshop, you'll learn how to create stunning watercolour artworks from scratch. Guided by your experienced tutor, Ginny Singh, you'll discover the essential materials and techniques needed to bring your artistic vision to life on paper.
If you've always admired watercolour paintings but felt unsure about where to start, this class is ideal for you. Watercolours can seem intimidating at first, but Ginny's patient and encouraging approach will help you feel at ease as you explore this beautiful medium.
The workshop is structured to build your skills progressively:
  • Weeks 1-2: Dive into the world of watercolour materials and fundamental techniques
  • Weeks 3-6: Apply your new knowledge through four engaging mini-projects
As you experiment with vibrant pigments and watch them blend and flow on paper, you may find yourself captivated by the unpredictable yet magical nature of watercolours. The gentle swoosh of the brush and the gradual emergence of colours can be both relaxing and exhilarating.
Throughout the course, you'll have the opportunity to:
  • Learn about different types of watercolour paints, papers, and brushes
  • Master essential techniques such as washes, glazing, and wet-on-wet
  • Develop your own style through guided practice and experimentation
  • Complete four unique watercolour paintings to take home and proudly display
By the end of the six weeks, you'll have transformed from a complete beginner to an informed watercolour enthusiast. You'll possess not only a collection of your own artwork but also the skills and confidence to continue painting long after the class ends.
What you'll get
  • Materials needed in class
  • Tea, coffee and cake.

Two friends who met at the school gates to their sons's primary school and bonded over inset days and coffee. We open The Hive in July 2024. From different worlds, Felicity has a background in craft and spent the last 17 years designing and developing the Christmas bear for Harrods, Jo has spent her career in hospitality and events, making things happen! We have come together to create a Sanctuary in Sanderstead.
We both grew up here in Sanderstead, so know how special this community is. We wanted to open somewhere for people to enjoy, relax and create in an ever busy world. We snapped up the opportunity to open a studio in a converted bus shelter! Join us for one of our many workshops, craft, connect, create.
