Gilded Blooms: Watercolour & Gold Leaf Floral Painting Workshop

Create luminous floral art with watercolour and gold leaf in a relaxed, creative setting.

Join artist Kat for a beautiful two-hour creative workshop where you’ll explore the delicate art of watercolour painting enhanced with gold leaf. Inspired by seasonal flowers, you’ll create your own A5 floral artwork to take home.

This session is perfect for beginners and those with some creative experience—no prior knowledge is required.

You’ll paint a soft, expressive floral composition using watercolours, then elevate your artwork with shimmering gold leaf applied around the outer edges of your image. The result is an elegant, contemporary piece that catches the light and feels truly special.

• Watercolour fundamentals: brush control, layering, and paint application
• How to build depth and movement in floral artwork
• An introduction to gold leaf techniques, including:
• • Preparing your surface
  • Applying adhesive size
  • Laying and sealing delicate gold leaf
  • Tips for achieving a clean, luminous finish

• All materials and equipment provided
• High-quality watercolours, brushes, paper, and gold leaf
• Step-by-step guidance from Kat Living
• Your completed A5 artwork to take home

Just bring yourself and a willingness to create ✨

Gold leaf has been used for centuries to add a sense of luxury and light to artworks. In this workshop, Kat will guide you through a modern, accessible approach—no pressure, just play and experimentation

All materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed.

Refreshments will be available.
