Petals and Paint: Watercolour and Floristry Class

Join this flower and watercolour painting retreat by the sea and experience a beautifully calming, mindful space to slow down and create. This relaxed and welcoming environment is the perfect opportunity to step away from the daily rush, whether you're joining on your own, coming along with a friend, or simply looking to dedicate some peaceful time to your creative side. You'll spend a few blissful hours noticing the fine details of nature, focusing purely on personal enjoyment and the soothing rhythm of artistic expression.You don't need any prior art experience to feel completely at ease. This workshop is all about enjoying the process rather than achieving flawless perfection, making it incredibly reassuring for beginners. With friendly, gentle guidance every step of the way, you'll learn to look closely at seasonal colour palettes, textures, and the delicate movement of botanical stems. You'll explore how to arrange your floral elements, building up natural shapes and soft layers before translating them onto paper with loose, expressive brushstrokes.

• Floral composition techniques – Explore natural layers, shapes, and seasonal combinations as you arrange your fresh blooms.
• Expressive watercolour painting – Learn to capture the texture and movement of your arrangement using fluid, creative brushwork.

By the end of this seaside escape, you'll experience a deeply restorative shift in your well-being, feeling thoroughly relaxed and inspired by your time near the waves. You'll walk away with your own beautiful, expressive watercolour painting, ready to display your handmade artwork proudly at home as a reminder of a wonderful, peaceful day.

• All materials and tools for use during the session.
• Your own seasonal floral arrangement in a vase.
• A framed loose floral watercolour painting.
