Japanese Maple Leaf Watercolour Workshop

Maple Stories



1.5 hours Location Surrey Quays Class size 1 to 12 guests   £46

Join this beginner-friendly botanical watercolour workshop in Canada Water, London, and discover the beautiful colours and delicate shapes of autumn leaves. Over a relaxed 90-minute evening session, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm, you'll see how a few simple brushstrokes can capture the warmth of the season.
Inspired by Japanese maple leaves, this creative class introduces the expressive side of watercolour, from soft, flowing washes to gentle shifts in colour and fine botanical detail. Our experienced artist will show you how to really look at natural leaf shapes, mix rich autumn tones and build your own botanical painting, one step at a time.
Over the evening, you'll learn to:
  • Blend colour softly using wet-on-wet techniques
  • Mix autumn shades of gold, ochre, orange and crimson
  • Paint the distinctive shapes and veins of maple leaves
  • Build depth by layering and overlapping forms
  • Add delicate stems and finishing details
The session starts with simple, low-pressure practice exercises, followed by a guided leaf study and time to develop your own composition. Everything you need is provided, including quality watercolour paints, brushes and 300gsm hot-pressed watercolour paper, so you can simply arrive and start painting. It's perfect for first-timers, with step-by-step demonstrations and individual guidance throughout.
Wrap up the evening with a painting that's entirely your own: an autumn-inspired botanical watercolour to take home and enjoy long after the leaves have fallen.
