Join artist and illustrator Carla Gebhard for a relaxed watercolour workshop, perfect for beginners. Inspired by woodland treasures and the beauty of nature, this gentle, no-pressure class encourages you to loosen up and enjoy the flowing qualities of watercolour. There are no right or wrong strokes, only happy accidents to be embraced, making it a mindful and creative way to slow down and unwind.
Here’s what you can expect:
During the 3-hour workshop, we’ll explore simple watercolour techniques and create at least three small practice paintings, helping you build confidence at a relaxed pace before putting your new skills into practice to create your finished piece.
All materials are provided, including high-quality watercolour paints, brushes and paper. With gentle guidance throughout, you’ll leave with your paintings, plus the confidence and skills to continue painting at home.
Your tutor, Carla Gebhard, is a watercolour artist and illustrator based in the beautiful Forest of Bowland, where she runs a small shop and studio. Inspired by the magic of nature and the simple joys of life, she creates artwork for children, including timeless nursery prints, illustrated books and creative activities. Alongside her illustration work, Carla enjoys sharing the calming joy of watercolour through relaxed workshops for beginners. Her work is rooted in a love of nature, a sense of calm, and encouraging others to discover their own creativity.
