"Swan and Cygnet" Friday 29th of August

A moment of stillness. A mother swan gliding across the water, her baby close — soft, delicate, and full of quiet wonder.

In this watercolour tutorial, we’ll explore how to capture that tenderness on paper. You’ll learn how to paint white — not with white paint, but with subtle shifts in value, gentle shadows, and the art of leaving the page untouched. We’ll also take time with the reflections — showing you how to suggest movement, light, and softness on the water’s surface without overworking.

This is a study in grace and restraint. We’re not chasing perfection, but atmosphere. A piece that feels serene and alive — with flowing washes, fine details, and thoughtful observation.

Perfect for painters who want to deepen their understanding of light, water, and the expressive power of simplicity.
