Flowers in Watercolour
Designed for those with some painting experience, this workshop will give students opportunities to experiment and learn various watercolour techniques. This is a chance to explore a less botanical, more expressive and contemporary way of depicting flowers. I'd like to encourage students to paint in a freer, looser way.
