Beginners' Botanical Watercolours!

Unleash your creativity this holiday season with our Beginners Botanical Watercolours Class taught by the esteemed Ann Mackowski, an award-winning artist and regular exhibitor with the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours. Known for her stunning contributions to the Sky Landscape Artist of the Year, Ann brings her expertise and passion for nature into every lesson. Whether you're an absolute beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, this class is designed to inspire and empower you to create beautiful botanical artwork that you'll be proud to display or gift to loved ones.

During this engaging course, you will explore various watercolour techniques while learning to capture the intricate beauty of plants and flowers. We'll start with the absolute basics--how to use your watercolours, and how simple brush strokes can convey a wealth of natural features. We'll then cover blending, conveying light and shade, and using simple shapes to express features. With all supplies included, you won't need to worry about a thing—just bring your enthusiasm and readiness to learn! Ann will guide you through each step of the process, offering personalized feedback and encouragement as you craft your own unique pieces. Enjoy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, where you'll connect with fellow art lovers while immersing yourself in the world of botanical art.

This is the perfect opportunity to create wall-worthy masterpieces just in time for the holidays!

The event will be held in the Fry Room at 8 Hop Gardens--just bring yourself and we'll provide the rest! Again, absolutely no experience is required--we'll be starting with the basics and building up!
