In this class, we’ll paint a delicate botanical floral composition using soft blends, expressive shapes, and simple watercolour techniques that are both relaxing and effective. Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to the basics, this class is a peaceful and inspiring way to deepen your skills.

Botanical florals are the perfect subject to explore the gentle nature of watercolour. We’ll focus on graceful stems, flowing petals, and colourful leaves, all painted with light, intentional brushwork. I’ll guide you through each step so the process feels approachable, creative, and fun. No pressure, just enjoyment.

What You’ll Learn:

Wet-on-wet blending to create soft transitions in petals
Layering and glazing for building subtle depth and colour variation
Controlled brushwork to paint flowing stems and fine botanical details

Our project is a serene botanical arrangement, designed to help you practice key fundamentals while creating something beautiful and calming. The focus isn’t on perfection but on enjoying the process, building confidence, and learning how to express nature’s elegance with watercolor.

So grab your brushes, take a breath, and let’s paint something beautiful together. See you in class!

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!

Try this class to explore your creativity...

I’ve been painting for many years now, taken part in many exhibitions around the world and won awards from well respected organisations. As well as having my work feature in art magazines. After having success selling my originals and 1000s of prints around the world, I decided to start traveling with my brushes and paintings. My style is modern and attempts to grasp the essence of what I’m painting whilst allowing freedom and expression to come through. I simplify complicated subjects into easier shapes that encourages playfulness.

You'll Learn:

What materials and equipment to need to painting along
Basic technique to complete your first painting
How to avoid common mistakes
Choosing the right colours for your painting
How to blend colours and create textures for different effects
Making corrections and improvements
Finishing touches that make a big difference

When enrolled, I’ll include my complete ‘Watercolour Mixing Charts’. These are a huge aid for beginners and experts alike. They show what every colour on the palette looks like when mixed with each other. Indispensable when it comes to choosing which colour to mix.
