Join us on Monday 14th September

Autumn in Watercolour

Enjoy a day of art and inspiration. Discover the beauty of flowers, as Edinburgh Artist, Jenny Matthews RSW, joins us to teach floral watercolour painting using fresh, seasonal flowers from the hotel garden. 

Jenny will demonstrate watercolour techniques and will be on hand to offer individual tutoring. Nature, beauty and tranquility are assured during this immersive day of creativity.

Using artist-quality watercolours and paper, Jenny will teach colour-mixing skills, control of water and how to create the effects which make watercolour unique, followed by demonstrations of flower painting throughout the day. You will have plenty of opportunity to explore the medium and to create your own painting whilst working from the Cromlix garden flowers. Paint, paper and the use of a variety of brushes are provided. Jenny’s paintings will be displayed to inspire you.
