Laura Jayne Smith: Watercolour Butterflies: Five week course

Watercolour Butterflies: Five week course 

Join us for a beautifully immersive watercolour course where you’ll create delicate butterfly studies and transform them into finished artworks mounted on cradled panels and sealed with wax. Designed for those with prior experience in watercolour, this course will guide you through a complete creative process—from painting to presentation.

Over five relaxed and engaging evening sessions, you’ll develop your technique while producing two fully finished pieces. You’ll learn how to paint expressive, detailed butterflies using watercolour on paper, then progress to mounting your work onto cradled panels. The course also includes a full demonstration of how to apply wax as a protective and enhancing finish, giving your artwork a professional, gallery-ready quality.

All materials are provided, and each participant will leave with two completed panels.

What you’ll learn:

• Techniques for painting butterflies in watercolour with confidence and control
