Bird & Pomegranate Watercolour with Willow Wolfe
Bird & Pomegranate Watercolour with Willow Wolfe
Join Willow Wolfe for a one-hour watercolour and ink demo where she will show you how to bring life to a bird nestled among pomegranate and blossoms. Using Winsor & Newton fineliners, Cotman Watercolours, and Amavi brushes, Willow will guide you through her step-by-step approach to layering luminous watercolour washes, enhancing form with fine ink detail, and creating balance between controlled precision and expressive brushwork.
In this session, you’ll learn: How to add details using fineliners, Techniques for layering Cotman Watercolours to achieve depth and vibrancy, How to use Amavi brushes for smooth washes, fine lines, and textural accents, Tips for balancing realism and creativity in botanical and bird subjects.

Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.
Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.
