5 x 2 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £155 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this five-week online brush lettering and botanical art course and discover how to blend elegant calligraphy with the soft, airy beauty of seasonal watercolours. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to rekindle your creative spark, this low-pressure series is designed to help you switch off and find your flow through nature-inspired art.
Throughout the sessions, you'll master the foundational techniques of brush control, learning how to manage pressure and release to create clean, expressive letter shapes. As you grow more confident, you'll explore whimsical, playful alphabets and experiment with mixing fresh palettes of blossom pinks, primrose yellows, and sky blues. You'll also learn to paint delicate botanical borders, including vines, leaves, and simple florals, to perfectly frame your words.
Each week, you'll work through the following steps:
  • Foundations of brush calligraphy – Master the basics of using a water brush or paintbrush, learning how to create smooth, expressive lettering.
  • Whimsical alphabets – Try out playful, nature-inspired lettering styles.
  • Nature-inspired palettes – Mix soft seasonal tones – fresh greens, blossom pinks, primrose yellows, sky blues – and practise blending, ombré effects, and transparent washes.
  • Botanical borders and florals – Paint simple flowers, leaves, vines, and decorative details to frame and elevate your lettering.
  • A completed spring artwork each week – Every session ends with a finished design bringing together the week’s calligraphy and botanical painting techniques.
By the final session, you'll have developed a rewarding new skill and a lovely collection of light-filled spring pieces to display. This course offers a wonderful way to ground yourself in a new hobby, leaving you with a sense of quiet accomplishment and a portfolio of hand-painted keepsakes that celebrate the natural world.
Please note: This is a five-week online course held on Tuesdays from 2nd June to 30th June.
