'Watercolour & Wine' - Hosted by Floating Art at Duke Street Market

Floating Art is a local indie company who hold regular varied art workshops in the North West! Join us at the beautiful Duke Street Market and learn some water colour painting techniques.

Whether you're a passionate painter looking to learn new skills or just someone searching for fun group activities to try with friends, you'll love this entertaining art class. Most of our students have either not painted for a long time or even consider themselves to have never painted before!

Using Sakura KOI Japanese Artists Watercolour we'll teach you the basics of watercolour painting as well how to use an ink pen for your sketching.

This workshop has no set topic, We will bring along a selection of references of varied styles for you to draw inspiration from, these will include landscape, Flowers and Animals. You are also welcome to bring along your own references. The workshop will begin with a brief demonstration from our experienced teacher and local practicing artist, she'll show you how to get started with your pen and then teach you a variety of watercolour techniques. Once you get started the teacher will be at hand to help you throughout the rest of the workshop.

It doesn't matter if you've never picked up a brush before, th art class is a great introduction to watercolours . It is also suitable for those that are already familiar with watercolour painting who want to learn something new or improve on their skills.

At the end of your art class, you'll get the chance to stand back and admire your result or sharing your experiences with the group. You'll head home with your completed piece and a new skill that's perfect to practice whenever you're looking to clear your head.

This workshop is located in at Duke Street Market, a modern food market with stunning interior and high quality offerings of food & Drink which we encourage you to enjoy both before and during the workshop.
