    Spring Watercolour Florals- All Day Workshop- Saturday 7th March 10-3pm.

    The Old Fire Station (behind Nettle Cafe) Port Sunlight, Wirral CH62 4XE  £55

    Join me to paint beautiful Spring flowers with Watercolours in the heart of Port Sunlight!

    Flowers are my favourite subject to paint with watercolour, it’s a subject I come back to time after time with the variations each season brings. I love using watercolours as it is such a versatile medium, with its excellent light and translucent qualities.

    Building up layers of colour can give watercolours a vibrancy, depth and detail and I’d love to share my techniques to achieve this with you!

    I will demonstrate each technique at the start of the session and you will be provided with all materials and the still life to draw from. We will start the day with a warm up painting exercise designed to teach the basics of the subject before moving onto our main artwork.

    I will provide hot drinks and biscuits throughout the day but feel free to bring a packed lunch or visit the lovely cafes close to the venue.

    Design Your Own Pattern- Weekend Workshop- Saturday 21st March 10-2pm.

    The Old Fire Station, Port Sunlight, Wirral CH62 4XE  £50

    Have you ever wanted to create your own pattern? This brand new workshop explores the fascinating process creating a handmade repeating pattern with watercolours. Discover this simple but very satisfying technique!

    I have enjoyed a long career as a printed textile designer for the fashion industry, creating printed designs for many international fashion brands including Zara, Anthropologie and Marks and Spencer to name a few. Creating a repeatable pattern allows the designs to be developed as printed fabrics and wallpaper.

    We will start by creating a small motif. We will use that motif whether it be floral, decorative or geometric to develop into a seamless pattern that matches on all sides! I will demonstrate the methods and techniques at the start of the workshop and be on hand to offer advice every step of the way.

    A day workshop gives the perfect opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the subject and create something interactive and fun by the end of the workshop.

    A great day out for friends to connect or even to celebrate a special occasion.

    All materials are included as well as drinks and sweet treats throughout the day.
