Tulip Watercolour Workshop

Tulip Watercolour Workshop

About this event

Step into the world of botanical illustration with this relaxing and rewarding watercolours workshop.

Botanical illustration has a rich history as both a scientific and artistic practice. Before photography, these detailed artworks were the primary way to record and study plants, helping botanists and naturalists understand the structure and diversity of flora. In this workshop, you’ll honour that tradition by painting a vibrant tulip while learning fundamental watercolour techniques.

With the guidance of a professional instructor, you’ll explore how to mix colours, create soft gradients, and build beautiful layers of transparent colour. We’ll use premium materials including Winsor & Newton watercolours and Fabriano 200 gsm watercolour paper, ensuring a high-quality painting experience.

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refresh your skills, this workshop is a perfect opportunity to enjoy a creative and mindful day.

Included in this Workshop:

  • Expert instruction and live demonstration
  • A completed Tulip botanical illustration on A4 Fabriano 200 gsm watercolour paper
  • Introduction to materials using professional-quality Winsor & Newton watercolours
  • A fun, creative experience in a supportive group setting
