Intro to Watercolour: Robin

Perfect for beginners or anyone returning to art after a break

About this experience

Join us for a relaxed and informal fortnightly Intro to Watercolour course.

Perfect for beginners or anyone returning to art after a break, these gentle sessions will help you build confidence while enjoying the calm, meditative nature of watercolour.

We’ll be introducing you to key skills such as colour mixing, washes, blending and simple layering techniques. Each session will explore a new subject and technique, helping you understand how watercolour moves and how to work with its flow rather than against it.

The session is £35 per person, including all materials, tea and cake – just come along, relax, and enjoy some creative time for yourself.

My name is Magdalena Edwards and I’m a painter. My watercolour animal studies are full of directional flow. They mainly express multidimensional movement of animals. I love experimenting with colour and texture as it is unpredictable and challenging.

I live in Rugby but I grew up in the unspoiled lake district of Mazury in Poland. From a very early age, I started drawing cartoons and Japanese manga which has significantly influenced my style.

Now, I am mainly painting versatile, colourful and dynamic British wildlife. If you look closely enough, just like us humans, all my animals have their own characters and different stories to tell.

Since my involvement with the Healing Arts Programme in Walsgrave and St Cross hospitals I truly believe that painting and looking at beautiful colours creating interesting textured subjects has a very beneficial influence upon our emotional wellbeing.

I have also been exhibiting with: @warwickshireopenstudios and @aitpleamington

I hope you enjoy the my art as much as I do
