Learn how to paint watercolour with artist and illustrator Naomi Bell. Drawing inspiration from the flora and fauna of Bermuda and the Botanical gardens, Naomi will teach you how to master the skills of working with watercolour, and the knowledge required to create botanical form and colour.

Join us to learn the techniques required to master watercolour, including:

• how to use the paints and pigments
• stretching paper
• painting form

These techniques will be put into practice by painting floral forms, and coming away with your very own botanical composition.
