Always wanted to try watercolour but found it hard to start on your own? This is the systematic foundation for those serious about learning authentic techniques.
This 3.5-hour workshop is a comprehensive deep dive, not just a simple trial. Led by an award-winning illustrator in a professional studio dedicated solely to watercolour, you will receive all the guidance needed to start your journey with confidence. You'll leave not only with a beautiful painting but with the skills to continue learning independently.
Many of our students progress directly from this foundational workshop into our advanced classes to create their own original art. See their incredible progress on our Instagram: @venchoartstudio.

What we do Learn：
In this 3.5-hour art class in London, you will explore and learn professional watercolour techniques, including wet-on-wet, and dry-on-dry, using the highest quality painting materials available on the market. By the end of your first class, you will complete a full watercolor landscape painting.
Throughout the session, we'll guide you in recreating a painting, ensuring you grasp each step from sketching to inking, and ultimately to applying watercolour. We provide four landscape watercolour painting samples, allowing you to choose your preferred subject matter. Each sample focuses on specific techniques for practice.
Additionally, we'll show you how to select various watercolour tools from the art shop. This includes selecting suitable watercolor paper, mounting techniques, choosing pigments, and matching them with your brushes. We will also provide tips on using all the materials, so you don't need to prepare any tools in advance.

The Material we use：
We believe that using the finest materials is the key to truly falling in love with watercolour. That's why we provide only the best for our students:
Paper: Arches 300g, 100% cotton paper, the world-standard for professionals.
Paints: Daniel Smith artist-grade paints, celebrated for their unparalleled vibrancy.
Brushes: Soft squirrel hair brushes for beautiful, fluid strokes.
Our Unique Preparation: To ensure a flawless painting experience, your paper is professionally wet-mounted by the instructor before you arrive. This crucial, time-consuming process prevents the paper from buckling, allowing you to paint with freedom on a perfectly flat surface.
