Watercolour Painting Workshop for Beginners

Recent reviews of Watercolour Painting Workshop for Beginners

• 5/5 from Jennifer Mace, attended Sep 2026: We were taught basic techniques using 2 thicknesses of brushes and use of water to control colour (plus a secret technique). We practiced as we went and finished by completing an A4 piece using all the techniques learned through the 2 hours together. Our teacher was gentle on us all (class of 4) and supported us, corrected our mistakes and cheered us on. I took this class to know what to expect when I start watercolour painting and it did not disappoint. Nice home studio to learn in.

• 5/5 from Mandy Kam, attended Apr 2025: We are a family of 6 joining this beginner water colour painting class. Cecilia is a great teacher for no doubt, she is organised and well prepared for the class. We were asked on our wishes for the workshop and she assisted us to pick what will do best for beginners in painting watercolour. We are taught through the class with the basic techniques and theories of using water colour. The whole process was interactive and joyful under Cecilia’s guidance. We all enjoyed much the times, discharging our artistic senses in the beautiful house. My 10 years old also found it was an inspiring lesson and said he would love to do watercolour painting again. Thank you Cecilia! Definitely recommend this workshop.

My practises weren't that great but then I was really impressed by my final piece (if I do say so myself). Would highly recommend to groups or singles. I went with 2 friends but there was another lady there alone and we all enjoyed the class together. Cecilia is very warm and calm, explaining techniques and giving examples that are easy to follow. I would recommend this class to others
