Heart of Winter: Ink, Watercolour & Metallic Leaf Workshop (25 July ’26)
In this intuitive, mixed media workshop, you will create expressive botanical paintings inspired by the quiet beauty and atmosphere of winter. Working with ink, watercolour, and metallic leaf, you’ll explore fluid mark-making, soft layering, and delicate detail to capture the essence of winter botanicals. The focus is on mood, contrast, and subtle luminosity – embracing stillness, restraint, and intuitive expression.
What attendees will learn:
- Paint intuitive botanical forms using ink and watercolour
- Work with a limited, winter-inspired colour palette
- Build layers and transparency to create depth and softness
- Incorporate metallic leaf to add light, contrast, and visual interest
- Let go of perfection and respond intuitively to the materials
Each participant will leave with their own unique winter-inspired botanical artwork on paper.
