Do you want to paint with watercolours but are worried about their scary reputation? Or have you started painting in this great medium but want to loosen up your techniques and be more expressive? This painting retreat has been designed for you. 

Over two tutored days and in a small group Catherine will bust myths and explain how watercolour is actually forgiving. Using the inspiration of mysterious winter trees she will provide a multitude of suggestions, take-home tips and techniques.

Begin with warm-up exercises looking at tone and brushstrokes. Then plan your masterpiece with demos on colour and planning before breaking for supper and arty discussion. Return on Saturday to complete your painting with one-to-one tuition, finishing with ways to review and edit paintings.
