TESTIMONIALS

"Your exquisite greeting cards arrived just now from my postman. I opened the package immediately as I was so excited to receive them! They are SO GORGEOUS! Even more magnificent in “real life” than on your website! I LOVE THEM!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to send them to me. I’ll enjoy using them, that is, if I can bear to part with them!"
"I wanted to show you my beautiful original watercolour picture framed & hung. I'm attaching two pictures so you can see a close up & how the colors of the Cosmos flows with the fabric of the nook window treatment. The picture is hung near the entrance to our family room, the nook & the kitchen so everyone sees it, but especially so I see it throughout the day".
"Having just bought a fabulous watercolour painting of Anemones by Cheryl Wilbraham, cannot stop looking at it, it’s lovely, and I’m thrilled to bits with it. I have also had a painting lesson from Cheryl in July, bought for me by my son and daughter in law, and found Cheryl charming and very easy to learn from and inspired me to carry on painting."
"Many thanks for the photograph you sent of the snapdragon. Thank you also for a great workshop which I enjoyed very much -a lovely relaxing atmosphere, an excellent tutor - all in all, a marvellous day watercolour painting. I can thoroughly recommend a workshop with Cheryl."
"Cheryl Wilbraham is a notable painter. Whether her works in botanical art are life size or enlarged they have impact, are lovely to look at and have great wall appeal. A respected teacher of flower painting, she is a good demonstrator and gives hands-on advice and guidance at her workshops.

Introduction to Watercolour

This course will suit beginners, those who are a bit rusty and those who feel there are gaps in their knowledge. With an initial focus on learning about the properties of watercolour and the basics of painting with it, we will explore and experiment before moving on to look at the method.

Using provided reference material, we will progress as a group to learn how to paint simple subjects.

Intermediate Watercolour

This course is suited to those who have a basic grasp of the fundamentals of watercolour painting and want to build their skills. We will begin by focusing on simpler methodology and using the basics of watercolour before applying these concepts.

Using provided reference material, we will  progress from painting simple subjects to more complex subjects as your skills develop.

 

Continuing with Watercolour

This course will focus on further expanding your use of watercolour and will suit those who already have some knowledge of painting with it.

Using the reference material provided, we will continue to learn as a group through demonstration and individual practise and you will over the weeks produce your own set of paintings based on what you have learned.

 

Weekly online Watercolour Courses

Courses will be aimed at either beginners or improvers and will be taught using a combination of live tuition, during which there will be demonstration, staged time for individual practise and time to ask questions. One-to-one feedback and advice will be available in between sessions.

You will need some computer skills and some knowledge of online learning to be able to access this course. Unfortunately help and tuition with this won’t be available during sessions.
