Painting from Real, Freshly Picked Flowers

Step-by-Step

Step-by-Step

You will learn how to utilise beginner-friendly techniques to produce an accomplished piece of artwork


Join a small, friendly and relaxed painting workshop in a garden studio in the Elham Valley. Whatever your experience level, whether you're a total beginner or a returning painter, you'll feel well-supported and welcome from the moment you arrive. Numbers are kept deliberately small so everyone gets proper attention and nobody feels lost in the crowd – there's no pressure to "get it right", just time, space and gentle guidance to help you slow down, look closely and enjoy the process.
You'll be painting surrounded by the garden itself – the same cutting patch and hedgerows that inspire the workshop's own paintings – so there's always something growing, blooming or seasonal to draw from. Sessions are hands-on and practical, with techniques talked through as you go, though the real focus is on giving you time to paint, ask questions and build confidence at your own pace.
By the end of the session, you'll leave with a finished piece you're proud of, a few new skills in your back pocket, and hopefully a bit of that same calm, connected feeling that comes from painting in a garden studio.
What you'll get
A completed artwork and new skills!

I first fell in love with painting at school, thanks to a brilliant and inspirational art teacher. After I left, he became my mentor, and for years we worked together on art videos and collaborations with other artists. That relationship is a big part of why I paint the way I do now. But I was told art wasn't a "proper" career, so I trained as a history and psychology teacher instead and spent the next fifteen years in the classroom.
Painting never really left, though. I live in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by hedgerows, and I've had my own cottage garden and cutting patch for years, dahlias and sweet peas are my particular favourites. With that much to look at every day, painting nature and flowers was the obvious next step.
Lockdown is what finally gave me the push. I decided to go full time with my art, painting and selling my work on stationery and homeware. That became Cottage Art & Design.
More recently I realised I missed working with people in person, so last October I started running creative and watercolour workshops from my garden studio. Turns out I never really stopped being a teacher, I just needed the right subject. I like watching people slow down and actually look closely at what they're painting, and leave with something that they are proud of having created themselves.
