Bring a relaxed, creative session to your group with a private loose watercolour animals workshop, led by me at your venue.
This is a beginner-friendly 2 hour workshop for groups of 10 or more in the Cambridge area. I come to you with all the materials, so all you need to provide is a room with tables and chairs. It works well for friends, clubs, birthdays, team days and community groups.
We will paint beautiful, loose animals, focusing on playful techniques rather than perfect sketches. I will guide you step by step through the basics of watercolour painting, and you will explore:
  • How to layer your paints
  • The difference between wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry techniques
  • How to judge the right amount of water
  • How different brushes create different textures
  • How to create splashy effects and textured layers that bring your animals to life
To keep things simple, I will provide light boxes to help you quickly sketch out your animal before diving into the fun part, the painting! The session includes warm-ups and plenty of time to experiment in a freeing and relaxed atmosphere.
This is the perfect way to learn the joy of watercolours in a supportive and fun environment. Come and make something wonderful with me!
How it works:
  • Groups of 10 or more, at £50 per person (£500 minimum for the 2 hours).
  • I travel to you, within around 20 miles of Cambridge.
  • Please give at least 2 weeks' notice when you send a request.
  • You provide a room with tables and chairs for everyone. If anyone in your group has access needs, let me know and we will plan for them.

Hello! I’m Irene. My journey into art began when my nan, who was an artist, left me her art materials. I started painting and have never stopped. I’ve explored painting, drawing, and sketching, discovering how art can bring joy and clarity to our lives.
I’m excited to share what I’ve learned along the way and help others unlock their own artistic potential. Let’s explore the world of art together and find inspiration in every brushstroke and sketch.
