Discover the expressive power of watercolour in a creative workshop led by award-winning artist Alice Macdonald. Explore how colour, movement and imagination can translate feelings into art and discover a new way to express yourself. Suitable for complete beginners, with no previous painting experience needed.
With Alice’s gentle guidance, discover how colour, lines and textures can express different moods and ideas. Then experiment with your own creative voice, without worrying about technique or getting things right. This is about the freedom to experiment, follow your intuition and express what words sometimes cannot.
