Ethereal Botanicals: Watercolour Workshop
Ethereal Botanicals
The Creative Escape | A Watercolour Workshop
Ready to add mystery, depth, and a sense of magic to your watercolour practice, while simply having fun? Ethereal Botanicals is an immersive creative escape inspired by the quiet beauty of wild flora and organic forms.
In this 2.5-hour guided workshop, we’ll move beyond flat, predictable painting and explore the expressive side of watercolour. You’ll learn how to build layered transparency, use negative space intentionally, and create paintings that feel light, moody, and alive.
No experience is necessary. This workshop is designed for curious beginners and adventurous creatives alike, just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play.
Workshop Highlights
- Creating crisp botanical silhouettes
- Using negative space for strong composition
- Techniques for texture and movement
- Expressive methods including lifting, salt, splatter, and rubbing
- Building depth through transparent layers
✨ Create two unique botanical pieces during the workshop, with the freedom to choose your own colour palette and explore what feels most expressive to you.
Everyone leaves with two finished ethereal botanical paintings and new tools to bring atmosphere and movement into their watercolour work.
✨ All materials are provided — just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
