Watercolour Painting

What you'll do

Want to learn how to paint with watercolours? Bring inspiring landscapes to life and capture the glowing colours of a sunset with this relaxed watercolour class for beginners.

During this painting class, you will learn a range of foundational techniques for brushwork, colour mixing and using the medium of watercolour. Develop your skills with clear step-by-step demonstrations and supportive guidance from your passionate, local teacher, Marilyn.

Step into the warm and welcoming environment of Bristol Folk House and meet some like-minded artists who want to learn new painting techniques, just like you! Just bring along your own watercolours and materials and you'll take home new skills and some art to hang up on your wall.

There are two classes running for this painting event, one is focused only on sunsets and the other only on landscapes. They are taught separately and may need different materials, please double check what you will need to bring.

Please note:

The Folk House has no level access or accessible facilities.
You must be aged 18 or over.
