Watercolour Class Derbyshire - Kingfisher River Scene

 

Paint a Beautiful Kingfisher in Watercolour

Join me for a relaxing watercolour workshop inspired by one of Britain's most beautiful birds.

In this friendly, supportive class you'll create a vibrant kingfisher perched on a bulrush, surrounded by soft grasses with a peaceful river landscape beyond.

Whether you're completely new to watercolour or have painted before, this workshop is designed so everyone can enjoy the process.

Each student receives:
• A full set of quality watercolour materials
• A printed step-by-step guide to follow throughout the session
• Individual help and demonstrations from me during the class

Because everyone has their own guide, there's no pressure to keep up with the rest of the class. You can work at your own pace while enjoying a calm, creative few hours surrounded by like-minded people.

My aim isn't just to teach techniques, but to help you slow down, enjoy the process and leave with a painting you'll be proud of.

📍 Art in the Park, Markeaton Park, Derby
📅 Wednesday 29th July 

Places are limited, so booking is recommended.

I hope you'll come and join me for a relaxing afternoon inspired by nature.

Hello May - Watercolour nature illustration

 “Spring adds new life and beauty to all that is” - Christina Rossetti 

As May begins, nature reminds us that growth, change and renewal are always possible. Who else is feeling the re-energizing magic of Spring!? 

Flying high watercolour nature illustration

 Flying high

Created for @ourplanetweek prompt "Feel the air"

This handpainted watercolour is my attempt to capture the freedom of flight- a weightless, soul-lifting moment.

Swallows, swifts and house martins dance above the trees, soaring through a blue sky dappled with sunlight and soft clouds. I hope you can feel what it might be like to ride the wind- to feel the air beneath your wings?
