Create something truly personal and giftable this season with our Painted Monograms in Watercolour short course. Over two relaxed sessions, you’ll learn how to design and paint a beautiful capital letter, surrounded by delicate leaves and flowers, the perfect piece to frame or give to someone special.
Session 1 – Drawing & Designing Your Monogram
We’ll start by exploring the shape and structure of letters, learning how to give them weight, add gentle serifs, and find a pleasing balance on the page. You’ll sketch your chosen letter, plan your floral layout, and prepare your design ready for painting in the next session.
Session 2 – Painting & Finishing
In our second class, we’ll bring your design to life with watercolour. You’ll learn how to blend colours beautifully, create soft gradients within the letter, and add expressive leaves and flowers that flow naturally around it. We’ll finish with fine details and tips for framing or gifting your finished artwork.
What You’ll Learn
  • How to draw and refine a decorative capital letter
  • Watercolour blending and layering techniques
  • Ideas for floral and leafy embellishments
  • Composition, colour balance, and finishing touches
Materials
Bring along your favourite watercolours, brushes, and paper, or choose to have a materials list sent ahead so you can gather everything before we start. Printable templates for each letter will also be provided by email for those who prefer a guide.

  • Watercolour paints + mixing palette
  • Round brushes (sizes 2 and 6)

Whether you’re new to watercolour or looking for a creative project to unwind with, this course is a beautiful way to combine lettering and painting, and end up with something you’ll be proud to display or gift.
