Let loose and let the paint lead. In this joyful 3-hour workshop, we’ll explore the charming world of mushrooms using a mixed media approach that blends fluid watercolours with tighter detailing techniques using coloured pencils, brush markers, and crayons.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dabbler, this session is about trusting the spontaneity of water while learning to refine your piece with vibrant, tactile layers. Mushrooms offer the perfect organic shapes to play with: irregular, textured, earthy, and a little bit magical.
