I run numerous painting workshops throughout the year at a lovely light, spacious hall in Beech Hill in Berkshire near my home studio. 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.

Watercolour Confidence
Watercolour Course – Thursday mornings from 4th to 25th February 2027
I mainly run one day workshops, which I love teaching because they are usually focussed on studying a particular subject in watercolour, but have been asked on many occasions to do a watercolour course which is based around learning the most important watercolour techniques that can be practised, developed and transferred to many different subjects. If this sounds like your cup of tea read on…
In February 2027, I will be teaching a four-week course, designed for anyone who has tried watercolour but found it frustrating, or who is self-taught and feels they have reached a point where their paintings aren’t developing.
Rather than simply producing a finished painting each week, the course focuses on the key watercolour techniques and principles that make the medium work. You will learn how to control water, paint and brushes, understand how to build colour and tone, and avoid some of the common habits that can make watercolour muddy, flat or difficult to control.
Each three-hour session combines demonstrations, practical exercises and guided painting, giving you the opportunity to practise techniques and learning how to apply them in your own paintings.
By the end of the four lessons, you should have a much better understanding of how watercolour behaves, greater confidence in handling the medium and a set of techniques you can continue to develop in your own work.
You will need to bring your own materials (so that you have everything you need to continue painting on your own after the course) but I will supply a detailed list of what to bring – as well as bringing plenty of extra supplies with me for you to borrow if you’re missing anything.
£175 per person for the course, or £155 to my subscribers.
4th -25th February 2027 10.00-1.00
Beech Hill Hall, Wood Lane, Beech Hill, RG7 2BE near Reading.
