Join this beginner-friendly class and learn essential techniques in a relaxed, supportive setting where we will learn techniques that you can apply to various subjects (not just flowers). Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or overcoming self-doubt, I will help you enjoy the process and discover the joy of painting. No experience needed and all materials will be provided. With step-by-step guidance, you will build confidence and explore essential techniques like tonal washes, blending, layering, and using the right amount of water and paint to help you to achieve more predictable results —all at your own pace.
Sunflowers in Ink and Watercolour
Friday 25th July 2025, 10.00 – 4.00
This course is perfect for artists of all levels who want to explore the beauty of sunflowers through watercolour and ink. To ease yourselves into this challenging medium you can try combing watercolours with acrylic inks which will do some of the groundwork for you, so you can then be free and expressive with the watercolour paint. You’ll learn essential techniques like colour mixing, layering, and loose brush work to create stunning, expressive floral paintings. Guided step by step, you’ll capture the warmth, texture, and radiance of sunflowers while enhancing your artistic skills. Join us and bring the joy of sunflowers to life with your brush and palette.
Expressive Florals in Watercolour
Friday 3rd October 2025, 10.00 – 4.00
One day workshop at Beech Hill Memorial Hall, Wood Lane, Beech Hill, Berkshire RG7 2BE
If you’ve always struggled with painting flowers or found that you get bogged down in the details, this will be a day to break free of old painting habits and discover a more spontaneous way of working with watercolours. You will need to bring along your watercolour paints and brushes (although I always have plenty of spare materials with me for you to borrow) and I will supply all the watercolour paper that you need for the day.
Teas, coffees, and biscuits will be provided.
Tiger in Watercolour
Friday 7th November 2025, 10.00 – 4.00
One day workshop at Beech Hill Memorial Hall, Wood Lane, Beech Hill, Berkshire RG7 2BE
We will look at gestural brushwork and mark-making, wet-into-wet washes and minimal detail. Ideal for artists seeking to develop confidence, loosen their style, and convey the spirit of this beautiful wild animal. You will need to bring along your watercolour paints and brushes (although I always have plenty of spare materials with me for you to borrow) and I will supply all the watercolour paper that you need for the day.
Teas, coffees, and biscuits will be provided.
I teach all abilities – those that are already painting and would like to improve their skills and beginners that have just discovered their love of painting. Each workshop covers a specific subject in which I teach various techniques that you can transfer to other subjects in your art practice. You will be learning in a friendly environment in a small group (maximum of 10), so that you receive plenty of attention and learn at you own pace. If you would like to come along to any of them, please email me at art@elizabethbaldin.co.uk.
