Watercolour & Ink Flower Cards Workshop
26th July | Sunday | 2pm - 4pm (BST, UK Time)
Replay available

Spend a relaxing afternoon painting expressive florals and creating three beautiful handmade cards using a combination of loose watercolour and delicate ink details.

In this guided, follow-along workshop, I'll show you how to capture flowers in a light, loose and joyful way. We'll begin with simple watercolour shapes and washes before bringing our blooms to life with fineliner details, sketchy lines and expressive mark-making.

Together we'll create three different floral card designs inspired by summer blooms, exploring how watercolour wash and ink work beautifully together to create charming illustrated artwork.

During the class, we'll explore:

✦ Loose, beginner-friendly watercolour techniques for painting expressive flowers and foliage

✦ How to embrace soft colour bleeds, layering and transparency to create fresh, vibrant florals

✦ Using a fineliner pen to add detail, character and movement to your paintings

✦ Combining ink and watercolour to achieve a relaxed illustrated botanical style

✦ Adding hand-lettered words and finishing touches to complete your designs

This workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers alike. If you have a basic understanding of using watercolours and a fineliner pen, you'll be able to follow along comfortably. Everything is taught step by step in a relaxed and supportive environment, making it the perfect opportunity to unwind, experiment and enjoy the creative process.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have three finished floral cards ready to gift, frame or send to someone special, along with plenty of ideas and techniques to continue exploring watercolour and ink further.

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS CLASS:
Watercolours - you can use any paints you like. I love this Van Gogh palette as well as this Gansai Tambi paint set.
Unipin in size 0.8
Watercolour paper - try to go for good quality paper, 250 - 300gsm weight if possible. I love this A4 Winsor and Newton paper pad.

Brushes - Round pointed brushes will be the best. If possible have a few different sizes ready, maybe a size 6, 8 and 10. This is my all time favourite brush - you’ll be able to paint most elements in this size.

2 pots of water
A pencil, eraser and ruler
Paper towel
A mixing palette - plastic or ceramic, you can also use a ceramic plate.

2 fineliner pens in different sizes, - e.g. Micron 03 (main drawing lines) and 08 (bolder lines, focal points).

Gold watercolours to add a bit of sparkle (optional) - I love Coliro Pearlcolours but any other ones will be ok too.
