In this class you’ll explore the beauty of a Wren perched on a frosty mound, focusing on techniques that balance crisp detail with soft, flowing textures. Watercolour, with its ability to convey both precision and fluidity, is the ideal medium to capture the delicate feathers and gentle landscape in a way that feels both serene and expressive.

Throughout the class, you’ll dive into essential watercolor techniques, including layering washes, creating subtle textures, and blending colors to achieve a soft, natural background. We’ll focus on achieving the fine details in the bird's feathers while allowing the paint to flow and create soft transitions in the surrounding frost touched earth.

You’ll have access to resources that will support your journey, such as templates, detailed colour mixing charts, and brush recommendations to help you compose a harmonious piece. I’ll guide you through each stage, from building up the bird’s form with light washes to adding final details that bring it to life in a simple yet captivating scene.

By the end of this class, you’ll have a beautifully balanced painting that combines fine detail with a touch of softness, creating an atmosphere of calm and simplicity. Whether you’re looking to refine your watercolor skills or simply capture the quiet beauty of nature, this class will inspire you to create a piece that feels both peaceful and meticulously crafted.

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!
