Brush Marks
Brush Marks
In this simple, imagination-led watercolour class, we’ll create delicate snowdrops without a reference photo — just your creativity and a few easy techniques. We’ll begin with a soft background wash and add a sprinkle of salt for a beautiful frosty texture. Then we’ll layer in the gentle green stems and small white petals, using light, confident brushstrokes to bring your flowers to life. A calm, seasonal class to help you loosen up, trust your instincts, and simply have a go.
