This class is for anyone who wants to learn and practise watercolour painting. Focus is on modern watercolour techniques, and subjects are mostly florals, birds, and still life, which are useful subjects for focusing on paint to water ratio, timing, wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry techniques, and hard and soft edges.

You will need to bring your own materials. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.

Email me to book your space!

FAQs:

I can’t make all the sessions, can I book individual sessions?

Yes! For this round of classes only, I am offering individual class booking. This is a great opportunity to try a class and see what it’s like, without having to commit to a whole course. Each class is £24. Please email me to check which dates have space before you pay.

I’m a total beginner. Will this class be suitable for me?

This class is not my signature four-week “Watercolour for Beginners” class. But if you are a beginner you can still join in, as long as you are willing to bring your own materials and “have a go”. I will provide individualised advice during the class to help you achieve the techniques we are focusing on. Alternatively, you can join my mailing list to be notified when I next run the four-week Watercolour for Beginners class in Oxford. The next 4-week Beginners course is likely to run in early September 2025. You could also book a one-to-one lesson with me, to cover the basics of brush technique and paint-to-water ratio. One-to-one lessons are £65 per hour and require two hours.

Life happens — and I completely understand! This policy is here to help keep things fair and simple for everyone, while also respecting the time and preparation that goes into each class.

If you need to cancel:

  No problem at all — you can choose a full refund or move your booking to another date (subject to availability).

  You’re welcome to reschedule once (again, subject to availability), but I’m not able to offer refunds during this window.

  Unfortunately, I’m not able to offer reschedules or refunds at this short notice, as your spot has been reserved and materials prepared.
