Discover the beautiful colours and delicate shapes of autumn leaves in this beginner-friendly botanical watercolour workshop in London.
Inspired by Japanese maple leaves, this creative class will introduce you to the expressive qualities of watercolour, from soft flowing washes to subtle colour transitions and fine botanical details.

What you'll learn:

  • Mixing autumn shades of gold, ochre, orange, and crimson
  • Painting the distinctive shapes and veins of maple leaves
  • Building depth through layering and overlapping forms

All materials are provided, including quality watercolour paints, brushes, and 300gsm hot-pressed watercolour paper.
Perfect for beginners, with step-by-step demonstrations and individual guidance throughout.
By the end of the session, you'll have created your own autumn-inspired botanical watercolour painting to take home.
