In this nature based watercolour workshop we’ll explore colour, shape, light and landscape through a series of simple, enjoyable exercises led by Ohn Mar, gradually building towards a more developed landscape piece towards the end. There’s no pressure to produce a masterpiece..just come along, have a go, look at the landscape differently and let your creativity take over. This workshop is just 35 mins by train from central London.

You don't need to know how to paint.

You don't need an art degree.

You don't need expensive equipment.

And you definitely don't need to produce a masterpiece.

This day is designed to help you look, experiment and enjoy the process.

What we'll explore:

Warm up & play with watercolour
Experiment with water and pigment, layering, colour mixing and using negative space.

Look closer at nature
Explore the shapes and forms around us, leaves, seedheads or trees, and discover how much detail we really need.

Simplify the landscape
Learn how to look at a busy landscape without feeling overwhelmed, breaking it down into simple shapes, values and areas of contrast.

Bring it all together
Use what you’ve discovered to create a more developed landscape piece inspired by the places we’ve walked through
