Workshops

I am a qualified tutor in adult education and have led courses in watercolour and mixed media for many years. By sharing my enthusiasm for experimentation and mark making, I aim to help you develop your own visual language.

My focus is to explore spontaneity and immediacy with watercolour , using a variety of tools and techniques. The essence of watercolour will be exploited with emphasis on an intuitive approach. We will explore the magical qualities of watercolour and learn to paint in a free and unrestrictive way. 

New Workshop for 2025

The Flow of Watercolour

Drawing on the landscape as a starting point , the aim of this workshop is to create a series of semi abstract compositions focusing on an intuitive response ; allowing the paint to flow and observing what happens when you let it do it's thing. I will demonstrate how adding other mediums and using other tools can lead to expressive marks and unexpected discoveries. 
Tone, texture, line and composition will be explored. Through this immersive and unpredictable process, you will discover how to push the boundaries of watercolour , cultivate a playful approach and tune in to your personal response.
