Watercolour Workshops in the Garden

Spend a peaceful and creative day immersed in nature at our Beginner’s Watercolour Workshop.

  • Booking essential

Join artist Zara Wilkins (Ginger Green Workshops) on this guided session, which invites participants of all skill levels to explore the art of watercolour painting whilst surrounded by serene lakeside views.

Led by an experienced instructor, the workshop will cover essential watercolour techniques. Attendees will have the opportunity to create their own artwork inspired by our beautiful garden, with inspiration taken from the lakes, reflections, waterlilies and dragonflies that fill the summer garden.

All materials and easels are provided, but participants will need to bring:

- A folding chair (unless you don’t mind standing at the easels) - Sun protection (hat, sun cream, sunglasses) - Footwear suitable for a countryside walk - Warm clothes

Zara Wilkins (Ginger Green Workshops) is a Brighton based watercolour artist & teacher, focusing on teaching absolute beginners. Her classes are perfect for people who have never tried watercolour before.
