Join us for a special Thursday morning watercolour workshop with guest artist Sam Scott, a renowned children’s book illustrator and fine artist. This session will focus on painting playful puffins, capturing their charm and character with expressive brushstrokes and delicate watercolour techniques. With Sam’s expert guidance, you’ll learn how to blend and layer watercolours to create soft, atmospheric backgrounds that make your puffins stand out. You’ll master techniques for painting feather textures, lively expressions, and dynamic poses, bringing these delightful seabirds to life with fluid and effortless strokes. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop will give you the skills and confidence to explore watercolour in a fun and inspiring setting. Spaces for this exclusive workshop are limited, so book early to secure your place.

Sam Scott will be returning every Thursday to lead our morning watercolour workshops, each exploring a different subject and technique.
