Watercolour from Life Art Workshop: Flowing Flowers

Learn how to bring watercolour flowers to life!



3.5 hours Class size 1 to 4 guests    

  $95 (Afterpay available)

In this class, we’ll dive into the beauty of native flowers and explore how watercolour’s fluid nature can bring them to life on paper. Whether you’re a beginner or have some painting experience, you’ll be guided step by step through the process of creating your own floral masterpiece.
Here’s what to expect:
  • Warm-up session: We’ll start by loosening up with simple paint exercises: testing colours, exploring brushstrokes, and getting comfortable with how watercolour flows.
  • Building a composition: You’ll learn how to arrange flowers on the page, balancing shapes, light, and contrast to create a strong and harmonious design.
  • Seeing the light: We’ll practise observing highlights, shadows, and colour shifts, then translate them into transparent watercolour layers that make the painting glow.
  • Your final piece: In the second half of the class, you’ll apply everything step by step to create a finished artwork inspired by our fresh flower installation.
You’ll leave the workshop not just with a finished painting but with practical watercolour techniques you can use in your own creative journey.
What you'll get
  • All materials provided (paper, paints, and brushes) - if you use your own, that's OK too!
  • Tea and light refreshments during a short break
  • Guidance on materials if you’d like to bring or try your own supplies
Knowledge required

Watercolour is my medium of choice because it’s alive: fluid, unpredictable, versatile, delicate, and at the same time incredibly practical for modern life.
Whether you’re painting at a café table, on your travels, or in the quiet of your own home, watercolour adapts and surprises in ways no other medium can.
I’ve been practicing watercolour for over 10 years and have had the privilege of learning not just through my own work as an exhibiting artist, but also from some of the world’s leading watercolour masters. Now I’m excited to share that knowledge with you.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
  • Approach life painting with watercolour, from first sketch to finished piece
  • Capture delicate petals, leaves, and natural forms with expressive brushwork
  • Mix vibrant, natural colour palettes using light and transparent layers
  • Apply colour and light theory to bring depth and atmosphere to your painting
  • Materials and tools: what you actually need (and what you don’t) for beautiful results
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your technique, this class will guide you step by step while leaving room for experimentation and personal style.
Bring your curiosity and love of colour and let the flowers and the water do the rest.
