Introduction to Watercolour: Celebrating Autumn

Join us for a beginner-friendly watercolour art class, where we’ll embrace the vibrant beauty of autumn! Under the guidance of a skilled professional illustrator with over a decade of teaching experience, you’ll explore the joys of painting with watercolour. In a relaxed and inspiring setting, located Studio Kokoro surrounded by Creswick bush, you’ll learn how to capture the essence of autumn painting mushrooms, colourful leaves, acorns, and other seasonal treasures.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with two hand-painted greeting cards and one small framed autumn illustration. Whether you’re new to watercolour or looking to enhance your skills, this class offers a welcoming space to experiment and express your creativity.

No experience required — just bring your enthusiasm and a love for the season!
