Join the talented Blair as she teaches you how to draw beautiful botanicals with watercolour.
Painting with watercolour is one of the simplest ways to express yourself artistically. You'll get expert guidance and demonstrations from Blair to ensure that you finish with a masterpiece.
Blair will show you the steps to draw in different styles, with a focus on the basic techniques in watercolour. If you'd like to draw other flowers, you're welcome to bring some inspirational material and do that too.
If you're planning on organising a 'stay-at-home' event with friends or family, and want the drawings to be special and memorable just for your group, Blair can design and print the drawing template just for you!
Please contact Blair for a customised topic for your private group booking (available for groups with eight or more participants or at an extra charge for smaller private groups).
At the end of the class, you will have a completed botanical watercolour masterpiece and the skills to continue working with watercolours at home.

I've been drawing since when I was a kid, I picked up watercolour as I really like the visuals you can achieve with that medium.
I taught some art workshops while I was in uni, and later continued it part-time. But I was passionate enough that I switched over to do this full time.
I draw in my diaries as a creative way to record my daily life and memories.
I particularly love drawing food (I just love food too much) and still life.
I find watercolour painting to be a very therapeutic hobby.
Hope to see you at one of my future classes!
