Butterfly Watercolour Workshop

Join a full day watercolour course in June painting beautiful butterflies & moths inspired by our new butterfly house at One Garden. Whether you're a total beginner or you've tried watercolour before - come along and refresh your skills, or learn from scratch!

What will we be learning?

- Drawing techniques for butterflies & moths
- Exploring wet on wet techniques
- Learning brush techniques to achieve very thin lines
- Learning butterfly & moth anatomy
- Learning to paint lots of different type of butterflies & moths
- Watercolour techniques such as tone & paint consistency
- Composition for laying out your creatures on one page

By the end of the day you will have created a chunky sketchbook of experiment pages and a few more in depth paintings of what we have learned.

If you’d like to visit the Butterfly House during the day please buy a separate ticket on our website (£9 for adults) - the ticket for this event does not include entry to the butterfly house. 

Your tutor:

Hi I'm Zara, your tutor for this beginner's day course! I've been teaching watercolours in Brighton & Sussex for three years and am at the point now where I really have a deep understanding of how watercolour works. In this class I'll be passing on lots of skills and knowledge to send you on your watercolour journey. In 2016 - 2019 I studied illustration at UWE, Bristol and since then have been painting nature as part of my job whether that be illustrations, large scale murals or teaching. Other venues I teach at include Waterstones on North Street, the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne, Sea Lanes & more.
