Modern Watercolour for Beginners | Farnham Maltings

Friday May 15th, 2026 | 10am-12.30pm

Come and play with watercolours!

Learn to paint in watercolour in a fun and playful way!

Join me for a relaxed morning learning the fundamentals of watercolour painting in a playful and approachable way.

This workshop will introduce you to the basic techniques of modern watercolour painting, including colour mixing, brush control, mark making, wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry. Through guided exercises such as pattern play, loose shapes and expressive mark-making, you’ll learn how to loosen up, experiment and enjoy working with this free-flowing medium.

There will be plenty of watercolour demonstrations and one-to-one support throughout. You’ll have time to experiment, build confidence and begin exploring your own style, and you’ll leave with a small collection of finished pieces and the skills to continue painting at home.

You will be given a complete watercolour kit, including paints, brushes and paper, to use during the session and take home afterwards.

Suitable for anyone looking for a relaxed and creative introduction to watercolour.

It really is for complete novices !

A really interesting and fun exploration of a few basic watercolour techniques. We were all so impressed with what we could create having very little/no art experience
