Summer Watercolour Workshop: The Gilded Grape with Yulia Lisitsyna

The Gilded Grape Watercolour Workshop

Spend 1.5 hours immersed in colour, creativity, and observation as you paint the rich, ripened beauty of fresh grapes and deep purple plums. This workshop focuses on capturing subtle shifts in hue, tonal gradation, and shadow, helping you bring depth and realism to your work.

Using expressive and versatile watercolour techniques, you’ll explore the endless possibilities of Van Gogh watercolours while developing a stronger understanding of colour relationships and form.
