About the event

5 week course | Monday 1st June - Monday 29th June Each week, we’ll explore a different nature poem as our creative starting point, drawing inspiration from the visual language, tone and atmosphere.


Holly will introduce a range of step-by-step watercolour techniques, alongside simple warm-up exercises and mindful creative practices, allowing your confidence to grow week by week. Over the course, you’ll create a portfolio of poetic watercolour paintings to take home.


What you’ll gain:

  • Practical watercolour techniques for painting nature and landscapes

  • Increased creative confidence and a mindful approach to artmaking

  • Ways to use poetry and stories as artistic inspiration

  • A calm, supportive space to enjoy the creative process over outcomes


No previous experience is necessary, this course is open to all levels and abilities. Just bring yourself and an open mind!


Please note that materials are not provided, but a detailed materials list will be shared so you can create your own creative kit for the course and beyond.
