Expressive Watercolour: Embrace the Flow of Colour

Discover the magic of watercolour in our Expressive Watercolour class, where we’ll explore the endless possibilities of color and technique. This class is designed for beginners who want to step into the world of watercolour painting with freedom and creativity. It’s all about using vibrant hues and fluid brushstrokes to convey emotion and expression, rather than focusing on exact realism.

In Expressive Watercolour, we’ll embrace color theory and encourage you to experiment with different combinations and techniques to represent subjects or landscapes in unconventional, yet captivating, ways. Forget about following traditional rules—this is your chance to let loose, play with the paint, and discover new ways of seeing the world around you through a more personal, expressive lens.

Whether you're painting a landscape, abstract composition, or anything in between, the focus will be on exploring how color can evoke mood and tell a story. Learn to use watercolour as a tool to express yourself, letting the paint flow, blend, and surprise you along the way. This is your creative space to discover the beauty in imperfection and embrace the unpredictable nature of the medium.
