This is a fun activity in Trafalgar Square, London

Join us for an immersive beginners' watercolour class, where you can discover the beauty of this medium in just 1.5 hours. Our expert tutor Ann Mackowski, featured on Landscape Artist of the Year and an exhibitor with the prestigious Royal Watercolour Society, will guide you through techniques and provide all necessary materials. Unleash your creativity and learn from the best in this intensive and inspiring art experience.

We'll start with simple exercises designed to get even the most novice of art-makers started, learning how to glaze, wash, blend, dry brush, and work wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry using vibrant watercolours. You'll build up a beautiful sampler of all the techniques you can use that you can take home to use as a reference!

Midway through, we'll have a tea break with biscuits and a chance to get to know your fellow artists!

Next, we'll move along to a paint-along demonstration with Ann. You'll be amazed at the effects you'll be able to create with the medium as a novice, and from this part will also have a wonderful watercolour painting to take home and proudly display on your wall.

Finally, you will be given a choice of props - real fruit, flowers, and intriguing objects, and given time to create your very own still life! Don't worry, you'll get plenty of pointers about composition, and throughout the process of painting, you'll receive one-on-one attention so you can make the most out of your masterpiece.

Miss something? Don't worry! Additionally, we offer access to online study resources, including video tutorials, allowing you to review and reinforce what we cover in class. Just bring yourself - all materials are provided.

It was a very nice experience, but not what I was expecting; the ad for the class says it is suitable for beginners, but even though I have used watercolor before I didn't feel it was very beginner friendly. No explanation about thecniques, no introduction to wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry, just to mention one. It was a pretty full class, and the teacher was quite busy trying to check on everyone, but only had time to come twice at our table, and no feedback was given, just a "good job" (it wasn't a very good job). I would have preferred something addressed at beginners and a little more in depth explanation about watercolour thecniques instead. There was reference to some YouTube tutorials we could have watched to grasp some more info, but if I want to watch a YouTube video I can do that at home, don't need to pay for a class. Again, I had fun and it was a good time out, but would not purchase it again and I don't feel like it is a class suitable for beginners.

Ann was a brilliant teacher who took us through several watercolour painting techniques. It was beginner friendly and her approach was patient and methodical. I'd highly recommend her classes and workshops!

I absolutely loved the watercolours class! The teacher was fantastic and super knowledgeable, patient, and really encouraging. The class itself was fun, and I learned different techniques that I can’t wait to keep practicing. It left me feeling really inspired and excited to continue exploring watercolours. Highly recommend to anyone.

Wonderful 1:1 art class focussing on brush techniques and then putting them into practice by completing two bits of artwork that I’m actually quite proud of! Great mindful afternoon with fab clear and patient teaching :)

My teacher was lovely and I had a great session diving into the world of watercolour painting! The first half was about brush techniques and in the second half, we painted a lemon. I enjoyed applying the new techniques and overall, it was a relaxing and therapeutic experience I’d like to repeat. Thank you for the session!
