Floral Drawing & Watercolours Workshop.

An Afternoon of Still-Life Studies in Watercolour

Join artist Liv Askwith for a relaxed and immersive afternoon exploring floral still life through drawing and watercolour.

In this tutor-led workshop, you’ll work from a thoughtfully arranged floral still life, learning how to translate observation into delicate washes, layered colour, and expressive mark-making. Liv will guide you through the process step by step — from initial sketching and composition to building depth, tone, and softness with watercolour techniques.

Suitable for both beginners and those with some experience, this session offers a supportive space to experiment and develop confidence with water-based media.

You’ll explore:

• Observational drawing as a foundation for painting
• Composition and proportion in still-life studies
• Watercolour techniques including washes, layering, and blending
• Capturing light, tone, and the subtle qualities of petals and foliage

All materials are provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own brushes or sketchbook if you prefer.

Expect a calm, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of guidance and time to develop your own expressive response to the flowers in front of you.

What to bring:
Clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on.

Spend an afternoon slowing down, working with colour, and leaving with your own finished floral watercolour studies.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
