Date: 15th August 2026
Theme: Experimential Mixed Media with watercolour
Paintings: You'll create two paintings …
Late Summer Countryside and a Close up study of grasses & seed heads

Step into a relaxed, creative day exploring the late summer countryside in a more playful way. You'll create two paintings: a larger mixed media countryside scene using watercolour, collage and gentle texture, followed by a smaller close-up study focusing on grasses, seed heads and natural details. We'll build soft washes for fields and skies, then add interest with torn paper, subtle texture and layered detail to bring your work to life.

Perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to loosen up and try something a little different, with plenty of guidance throughout in a calm, friendly setting.
