About this Event

Capture the quiet charm of Edinburgh through light and colour in this relaxing, beginner-friendly workshop. You’ll explore a unique combination of oil pastel monoprint and soft watercolour gradients to create a glowing sky, then layer in simple yet striking silhouettes of Edinburgh’s iconic architecture.

This session is designed for all levels, whether you’re completely new or simply looking for a gentle, creative break. You’ll be guided step by step, while still having space to make the artwork your own.

All materials are provided, and you’ll take home your finished artwork, beautifully presented in a mount. A little piece of Edinburgh in sunlight, created by you.
