I always love watching confidence grow during projects like these — especially when students suddenly realise they can create something they never thought they could paint, all in 1 session!

Inspired by Monet’s beautiful water gardens, I wanted to capture that peaceful feeling of standing beside still water and watching light dance across the surface.

Acrylic florals are always so lovely because every painting ends up taking on its own personality.

Join us for a relaxed, beginner-friendly watercolour and pen workshop, where you’ll learn how to paint loose, abstract flowers in a vase, step by step.

A Tuscany inspired acrylic project using soft glowing colours and a touch of Monet style brushwork.

Starting simple with the sky and sea, then gradually adding waves, depth and those little details that bring it to life.

A bit of everything in this school session — from loosening up with colour and mark-making, to building a full seaside painting step by step.

In this session we focused on building soft sunset skies first, then layering in grasses and finishing with those delicate daffodil details at the front.

We started with a simple underwater scene, then built it up step by step — adding colour, texture and all those little details that bring it to life.


We kept it nice and simple to start with, then built up the layers — background first, then branches, and finally that little pop of colour with the robin.

You can really feel that Monet influence, but still with everyone’s own twist.

Watercolour is one of those mediums that looks tricky… until you realise it’s all about letting go a little.

Thanks so much to everyone who came this week to our event at @pasticceriadileo, you guys were amazing!🤩

This is the start of a lovely multi-session after school project with one of my younger students.

This was session one of our acrylic floral paintings, and it’s always such a nice stage — loose, soft and full of potential.

There’s something really special about watching a face slowly appear on the page as confidence builds with each layer of shading.
