Beginner's Block Monday Evening 6.15-8pm

Beginner’s 4-Week Watercolour Art Journey

Monday Evenings | 6:15 – 8:00 PM

This Monday evening beginners’ class takes place in the studio alongside continuing watercolour artists while they are painting.

Beginners are taught as a separate block within the session, with clear step-by-step guidance through the fundamentals of watercolour. Painting alongside more experienced artists allows beginners to observe the natural rhythm of the class, see different approaches in action, and gain a feel for how the ongoing sessions work if they wish to continue after the beginners block.

The studio environment is warm and relaxed, making it an easy and comfortable way to learn at the end of the day. No previous experience is needed — everything is explained clearly and at a manageable pace.

This option suits those who enjoy learning in a working studio environment and would like insight into how continuing classes run.

Time: Mondays, 6:15 – 8:00 PM
Format: Beginners taught alongside continuing watercolour artists
Experience: Calm, structured, and supportive
