Dive into the vibrant world of watercolour painting inspired by the energy and movement of ocean waves.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this session is designed to ignite your creativity and deepen your appreciation of coastal landscapes.
Throughout the day, you will engage in demonstrations, exercises, and small painting projects that focus on the rhythms and patterns of waves and surf. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, perfect for parents seeking a creative outlet or a new skill to share with their children.
