Watercolour Workshop

Come along to a Lavender watercolour workshop hosted by Ashleigh Stoneman Art where you will learn some foundational skills of watercolour painting and practice some techniques which you will then apply to your own little masterpiece to take home. 

No prior experience or knowledge of painting or art required. Even if you've never held a paintbrush before, that's ok!! This is a very relaxed and fun workshop where you can just experiment and learn something new. 

Everything you need to use on the day will be provided. Enjoy delicious Spring refreshments while you mingle and learn to paint.

Why Watercolour?

•  Creative Expression: Watercolour painting allows participants to express themselves creatively, which can serve as an emotional release. This can help in reducing stress and anxiety.
 
•  Mindfulness: The process of painting encourages mindfulness, helping you to focus on the present moment. Particularly beneficial for mental well-being.

•  Cognitive Engagement: Engaging in watercolour painting requires concentration and focus, diverting attention from daily stressors. This practice can enhance cognitive function and promote mental clarity.

•  Flow State: Many participants find themselves in a ‘flow state’ while painting, where they become fully immersed in the activity. This not only contributes to relaxation but also boosts creativity!

•  Improvement in Coordination: Painting, especially with watercolours, requires control and coordination, which can help improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
