Watercolour Workshop
Blobs to Blooms
START WITH A BLOB. END WITH A BLOOM.
Your first playful conversation with watercolour.
Play with water.
Discover colour.
Let the blooms happen.
Learn to understand water, paint consistency and flow through simple, enjoyable exercises that take the fear out of watercolour. Play, experiment and watch simple blobs transform into blooms.
Watercolour is as much about water as it is about paint. In this playful beginner workshop, you'll experiment with different water and paint consistencies, learn how they behave on paper, and gradually become more comfortable with the beautiful unpredictability of the medium.
A gentle introduction to the medium for beginners.

ALL ABOUT SUPPLIES
Hot-pressed? Cold-pressed? Brushes? Paints? What supplies/brands should I buy?
Understand your watercolour supplies, paper, brushes and pigments — and discover how each one behaves. We’ll also introduce inks and a few playful mixed-media materials.
WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUES
Explore wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry and the magic of water movement. Learn to control water, pigment and fluidity — and see what happens when you stop trying to control everything!
EMBRACE THE BLOOMS
Experiment with colour mixing, flowing pigments, blooms, bleeds and unexpected magical effects. Play with inks and water to create textures and happy accidents that become part of your painting.
TURN BLOBS TO BLOOMS!
Bring all that play together. Turn your blobs, washes and watery experiments into a loose floral composition, then add expressive inky details to give your artwork personality and finish.
Who is this workshop for?
For anyone who has ever thought, “I’d love to try watercolour… but I have no idea where to start.”
Blobs to Blooms is specially designed for complete beginners and anyone who feels a little intimidated by watercolour.
We’ll start right at the beginning — getting familiar with your paints, brushes, paper and supplies, and understanding how much water you actually need. You’ll learn to stop fighting the water and start playing with it.
This workshop is about getting comfortable with the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolour — learning to let the water move, watch the pigments mix, embrace the blooms and enjoy the happy accidents.
You don’t need to know how to draw.
You don’t need any previous watercolour experience.
And you certainly don’t need to paint a “perfect” flower.
Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play.
By the end, you’ll have a better understanding of your materials, more confidence with watercolour, and your very own little floral composition created from blobs, washes, blooms and a whole lot of watercolour magic.

-SMITA GANDHI
Aparna has a fresh and unusual approach to teaching floral watercolour painting. Her classes can be enjoyed by beginners and also by people at an intermediate level. Using real botanical samples she helped us understand how to use watercolours effectively to make a vibrant composition of flowers and leaves.
