Katie will guide you through a series of simple, easy to follow techniques and demonstrate how to create a stylish composition.

You will be provided with a printable pack containing reference images for the session, tips, tricks and a materials guide. This week will be a still life and botanicals theme.

Follow Katie's watercolour channel on youtube for a taste of the workshop here.

Beginners through to practising painters are welcome - this is an opportunity to connect and share ideas in a virtual setting.

For more information about the teacher click here.

For this virtual class you will need the following materials:

- A set of decent paint brushes.

- Watercolour Paper (at least 280gsm thickness, A4 or larger is best - you can buy these in pads)

- A watercolour tin set, or a set of paint tubes.

- A water glass and some kitchen roll or toilet roll.

- A selection of things from around the home if you would prefer to make your own still life. (fruit, vases, books, jugs and leaves from the park are great. If you can get some flowers too thats a bonus.

Notes on Materials:

Some links to materials I recommend:

Paper - I use this paper - it has a good texture and holds lots of water.

Paints - I use a really special set by a very old brand called Schmincke Horadam which I would recommend only for people wanting to get more professional - they are very, very expensive but the pigment is the best! Windsor and Newton offer a much more affordable but good quality set here. Or you can get tubes like these and use a plate to mix on - colours are often more vibrant from a tube.

Brushes: Your brush collection will grow over time when you figure out the shapes and styles you like. To start a set like this is perfect. I always have a bigger flat brush like one of these on hand too.

Happy material shopping!
