Tuesday 6th October

Gathered & Golden - Watercolour Workshop

As the Cromlix garden transforms into its autumn palette of rich ambers, deep russets and fading golds, join floral and textile artist Clare Robinson for a day of relaxed and therapeutic watercolour painting.

Using autumn flowers and foliage gathered fresh from our organic garden as your subject, Clare will guide you through the art of loose style watercolour, helping you capture the beautiful colours and textures of the season on paper. Beginning with the fundamentals, she will demonstrate techniques throughout the day and offer generous one-on-one guidance to help you develop your own expressive style, whatever your starting point.

By the end of the day you will have created your own original watercolour artwork to take home, alongside the skills and confidence to keep painting long after you leave.

Your workshop will take place in our Library, before moving through to the Study for our signature Afternoon Tea. A wonderful opportunity to relax and share your creations with new-found friends.

Your day includes:

  • A day of guided watercolour tuition with Clare Robinson
  • All materials — paints, brushes, watercolour paper and pencils
  • Arrival refreshments and signature Afternoon Tea served in our Study
