Come and explore the simple delights of painting in watercolour in these fun, friendly, no-pressure classes for beginners – and anyone wanting a bit of ‘me-time’!

Learn how to mix colours, use different brushes and tools, and create quick and easy studies that can be used for cards, wall art or to keep in your sketch book.

This is a fun and playful approach where you will be able to try out all sorts of techniques and materials, and produce quirky illustrative images along the way – all under the cheerful guidance of Karen Carter.

Materials will be supplied, so just grab a cuppa, roll up your sleeves and enjoy a couple of hours each week playing with paint!

No experience needed – lots of demos and individual help – everyone welcome.

What to bring?

  • Watercolours and brushes if you have them  – don’t buy specially, the tutor will bring materials for everyone to use

  • Mixing palette – an old plate or ‘tear-off’ palette is fine
