In this three-day course, you’ll create a delicate flower painting - no larger than A4 - set within an elegant drawn border filled with a gold gilded background. Working from real flowers, you’ll explore how to observe, sketch, and compose a harmonious design featuring one or more blooms of your choice.
You’ll begin by studying your chosen flowers through detailed sketches, refining your composition before transferring it to smooth watercolour paper. Step by step, you’ll learn techniques for accurate drawing, controlled watercolour painting, and applying gold to achieve a radiant finish.
All materials and full instructions will be provided. This course is suitable for all skill levels - from complete beginners to experienced artists - offering both group demonstrations and individual guidance throughout.
