Dear Members and Followers,
We will spend time learning how to paint Roses and Transparent Watercolour Flowers. Painting florals
alongside your work can enhance the overall design. You can use these techniques for poems, quotes,
cards or envelopes. A step-by-step demonstration showing both processes will be shown on the day.
If you have a quote or poem that you have written and would like to add a floral design as per below,
please bring it along with you.
