Discover the fundamentals of watercolour painting with Something Less Boring.

  • Booking essential

The small group course is designed for beginners and improvers, but no experience is expected. We will provide all the materials you will need and as always gently guided in Liddy's relaxed style.

Liddy is the creative force and main tutor with Something Less Boring. She is a qualified Illustrator and also a qualified teacher. Liddy taught art for over 10 years at secondary school level before leaving to found Something Less Boring in 2017 with the aim of bringing art and sport to all ages regardless of ability in a fun, creative and inclusive way. Since April 2020 we estimate that Liddy has taught close to 500 online art sessions

In this session you will gain the basic techniques and skills of watercolour art. Build up your confidence with the medium and complete your own Lyveden themed painting!
