Celebrate Spring with Flowers at ArtForm, Dunmore East, Waterford

Do you love nature and want to know how to capture vibrant hues of flowers in paint?

Join me for three days of flowers and watercolour painting in the beautiful seaside village of Dunmore East, Waterford.

This three day Botanical Art Workshop will unravel the mysteries of colour mixing, and show you how to achieve the rich colours of spring flowers in watercolour.

Learn how to create realistic light and form with washes, glazes, and drybrush, and how to build up depth and vibrancy of colour through layering.

An experienced tutor, I will demonstrate my painting techniques and give practical advice on how to set up botanical subjects for painting, how to choose the right colours, and how to finish and present your artwork.

Whether you are a beginner or simply wish to improve your painting skills, this friendly and informal class will inspire you to pick up your brushes and enjoy the colours of your garden.
