Step by step tuition

Step by Step Tuition

Don't worry if you've never tried watercolour painting before! We'll be on hand to provide tips on colour mixing, tools and techniques as you work on your own painting.


Take home your finished seasonal watercolour

Take Home Your Finished Seasonal Watercolour

You'll take home your finished watercolour painting to show off with pride or gift to someone special, as well as new creative skills!


During this watercolour painting workshop, I’ll guide you step by step as we explore the beautiful, fluid nature of watercolour painting. We’ll begin by getting familiar with our paints, brushes and watercolour paper before learning some simple techniques to build colour, create texture and bring our seasonal subject to life.
Our painting will be inspired by the season, with a gentle introduction to colour mixing, washes and brush techniques along the way. You’ll have plenty of guidance and encouragement, with time to experiment at your own pace in a relaxed and friendly setting.
You don’t need to be naturally artistic or have any previous painting experience. This is about enjoying the process, embracing the little surprises that watercolour brings and discovering the satisfaction of creating something yourself.
I’ll demonstrate each stage and guide you through the process step by step, offering help and encouragement throughout. You can work at your own pace in a relaxed, supportive environment. Take home your finished painting and new creative skills!

I have always had a creative flair and a love of colour. Sometimes when you really take a step back and pause for a moment, the little things seem so meaningful.
I retired in January 2026 having worked many years as a Senior Design and Project Manager. I ran a number of workshops relating to the project and teaching staff all about learning skills, design and capabilities, but I personally enjoyed seeing people flourish and grow in confidence.
I retired early to care for my mum, who sadly passed away just before my retirement date. I had always planned to do something creative with flowers and watercolour; however, with my mum's passing, I never expected this to happen so soon.
I wanted to make my mum's floral tribute and, with the help of a friend who found a local florist, I managed to secure a number of sessions across 4 weeks where I learnt so much more about floristry, the tools, colour combinations and the techniques.
Over the next 6 months, I continued to make and sell some of my creations and booked myself onto an advanced watercolour course to “brush” up on my existing painting skills so that I could share my learning with others.
Then something changed: the dream of my own studio.
The idea became a reality and I now have my very own cozy studio (courtesy of my husband) in my back garden where I have been very busy planning and running wreath and floristry workshops for the Autumn season.
And here I am preparing for Christmas with some wonderful testimonials and feedback. What a lovely way to begin! I’ve met so many lovely people and just watching their creativity and confidence grow is what makes all of this worthwhile.
I can’t wait to share this with you all.
