About this Event

Join me for an evening of painting and creativity inside the historic Cotton Factory, one of Hamilton’s most vibrant creative spaces. Surrounded by working artists, studios, and industrial character, this workshop is an opportunity to slow down, learn something new, and spend time creating in an inspiring environment.

Designed for beginners and anyone curious about watercolour, this relaxed, hands-on workshop will introduce foundational techniques including brushwork, washes, colour mixing, layering, and building simple landscape compositions. No experience is needed, just a willingness to explore and enjoy the process.

This workshop is less about perfection and more about curiosity, experimentation, and making space for creativity.

You’ll learn:
• Basic watercolour techniques and materials
• Brush control, washes, and layering
• Colour mixing and creating atmosphere
• Approaches to simple landscape painting
• Tips for gaining confidence with watercolour
