Workshops for Absolute Beginners Level
One Day Workshop
Monday 18 August 2025
Wednesday 20 August 2025
10.00-16.15
This is a one day workshop for anyone with little to no experience of Watercolour.
Ideal for anyone who would like to join classes but hopes to gain some experience in the medium beforehand. Or for those who are unable to attend regular weekly classes but would like to try their hand at this medium, in order to participate in future, more advanced workshops.
We literally start the day with how to hold the brush, so that your confidence builds with each new project. Participants would be required to bring their own art materials from the kit list provided, eg a basic watercolour set, brush and palette, along with a packed lunch. I am able to supply 100% cotton watercolour paper, drawing boards, water pots, kitchen towel etc and a ready supply of refreshments and biscuits throughout the day.
You'll learn all the basics from how to apply flat and graduated washes, colour theory, colour mixing from a basic palette and tonal values. We cover a lot during the day and you'll leave with several completed paintings.
I had a lovely day yesterday at Kirstie’s workshop. Learnt so much about watercolour painting and produced some masterpieces! Thank you, Kirstie - I would recommend this course to anyone with an interest. I’m hoping to sign up to some of your classes in the near future.
What a lovely day this was! Kirstie made everyone feel at home in her lovely studio area and all the ladies were so friendly. Being very much a beginner at watercolour painting I was worried I would be out of my depth but Kirstie set tasks all abilities could cope with. I came away feeling really pleased with what I had learned achieved and enthusiastic to carry on with watercolours and hopefully join one of her courses. Roll on the next one!
