Join us for a fun and relaxing ocean-themed painting workshop where you’ll learn to capture the beauty of the sea using watercolour and gouache. Guided by our experienced instructor, you’ll follow step-by-step demonstrations to explore techniques such as layering washes, building depth, and using vibrant gouache accents to bring movement and atmosphere to your seascape.
Next, you’ll put those techniques into practice as you create your very own ocean-inspired artwork. With professional-quality Winsor and Newton paints and Fabriano artist-grade paper, you’ll explore the interplay of colour, light, and texture while developing your own unique interpretation of the ocean.
Whether you’re inspired by crashing waves, gentle tides, or tranquil coastal views, you’ll leave with a finished piece that reflects the calm, energy, and ever-changing beauty of the sea.
