Urban sketching courses - creative and personalised

Warm light and wings of glass.

In this watercolour painting session, you’ll create a gentle scene of a dragonfly drifting above soft, sun-washed colours and a bed of lush green grass. Tender washes of warm yellow and peach melt into fresh greens, letting the delicate shimmer of the dragonfly take centre stage.

No experience needed — just a love for quiet moments in nature, soft breezes over tall grass, and the peaceful joy of painting with glowing, flowing colour.

Heavy Blossom. Petals in 3D. Spring you can almost touch.

Ever wanted to paint something so lush you feel like you could pluck it off the canvas? This is your moment.

Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
