What you'll do
Join us for a fun and inspiring Portrait Watercolour Workshop where you’ll learn to paint expressive, loose portraits with ease! Guided by our experienced instructor, you’ll explore step-by-step demonstrations designed to make portrait proportions simple and accessible, perfect for beginners and those wanting to loosen up their style.You’ll also discover what loose portrait painting means, an expressive approach to portraiture that captures mood and personality rather than perfect detail. With fluid brushstrokes, soft edges, and simplified features, this style allows your portraits to feel lively, spontaneous, and full of character.Working in a beautiful monochromatic palette, you’ll focus on light, shadow, and tonal values, freeing you from the complexity of colour mixing and allowing you to build confidence in fluid brushwork and expressive mark-making.Next, you will put your new skills into practice as you create your very own portrait using a pre-prepared template. With your instructor’s support, you’ll learn to control washes, develop depth and dimension, and bring personality and life to your portrait.All materials are included, featuring professional Winsor & Newton watercolours and Fabriano watercolour paper, ensuring a smooth, high-quality painting experience from start to finish.Whether you’re completely new to watercolour or looking to refine your portrait skills, you’ll leave the workshop with a completed monochrome portrait and the confidence to keep exploring watercolour at home.This Portrait Watercolour Workshop is part of our mission to inspire creativity and make art accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a hobbyist, art student, or curious beginner, this session is a welcoming and supportive space to learn, experiment, and enjoy the process of painting.Don’t forget to join our Creative Rewards loyalty program to receive an exclusive 10% discount in-store on the day – just one of the many perks of being part of our creative community!
