Enjoy a relaxed watercolour taster session that blends simple figure drawing with a gentle woodland landscape. You’ll sketch ramblers walking along a forest path, using clear proportion and pose‑finding techniques to keep the figures loose, natural and easy to place within the scene. The focus stays on observation and simplicity, making the process approachable for all experience levels.
With the figures established, you’ll explore key watercolour techniques to build soft foliage, gentle shadows and a sense of movement throughout the composition. Light washes and expressive brushwork help integrate the ramblers into their surroundings without tightening the painting too soon. It’s a calm, atmospheric session designed to help you enjoy the flow of watercolour while bringing a peaceful woodland walk to life.

"I graduated from Falmouth School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting, and I've spent over 26 years in mental health education as a Thrive Practitioner. I've also taught art at GCSE, A level and within FE colleges, which has strengthened my belief in how powerfully creativity supports wellbeing and self-expression. My own work is inspired by music, colour and the natural world, exploring rhythm and atmosphere through both observation and intuitive mark-making. Creativity, for me, is a way of connecting with others, and that belief shapes my teaching - supportive, expressive and grounded in helping people find resilience and balance."

“Art has been my whole life — which probably explains the paint on my shoes and the sketchbook in my shopping bag. Teaching is my way of passing on the passion. I don’t expect perfection, just a willingness to try and an openness to learning when things go sideways. My sessions are practical, relaxed, and occasionally interrupted by the sound of someone discovering that acrylic paint does, in fact, get everywhere. If you’re curious, you’re ready!”
