Mon 22nd May 10am - 12pm

Workshop details
Art Journaling is a fun and simple way to be creative. A new addition to our ONLINE programme, it fits very well with our ethos of 'Learn, Design, Create'. Throughout 2023, Sai Banerjee will be teaching a number of exciting sessions in which we will explore the joy of Art Journaling through different mediums and art techniques.
This class is the first of our new series; a delightful Spring themed workshop in which you will learn how to paint loose, expressive watercolour florals. A fun and meditative process!
In this introductory session we will learn to paint a variety of watercolour florals. Working with wildflowers and leaves picked from your own garden, we will cover the basic techniques and brush strokes required to paint without any preliminary drawings. We will explore colour mixing and consistency to ensure good results, and you will be taught some interesting tips and hacks that will help you to expand your watercolour floral painting skills.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners. No previous experience required. If you are looking to learn a skill that will help you to be creative, de-stress and reconnect with yourself, then Art Journaling is for you.
Once you have learned the basic techniques and brush strokes, why not join us in the follow up class in June, where we will learn how to apply the skills to create beautiful floral compositions.
