• In this class, we’ll paint a graceful ballerina mid spin, her dress flowing around her in soft layers of watercolour. This is a beautifully expressive subject, full of elegance, atmosphere, and movement. The perfect opportunity to blend freedom with control in your painting.We’ll combine loose, flowing brushwork with subtle, delicate details to capture the motion of the dancer, the lightness of fabric, and the dreamy quality of a blurred background. Whether you’re new to watercolour or looking to expand your expressive style, this class will help you build confidence while painting something poetic and dynamic.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

• Create a strong yet elegant figure silhouette

• Use wet-on-wet blending and lifting to paint soft, flowing fabric

• Develop light, atmospheric backgrounds that enhance the feeling of motion

• Embrace soft transitions and abstract edges to suggest energy and movement

Our painting focuses on a ballerina captured in a moment of stillness and spin, her body calm, her dress alive with motion. We’ll take it step-by-step, keeping the process light, relaxed, and creative.

This class is all about expression, not perfection. So let go of rigid detail, enjoy the freedom of the brush, and bring a sense of grace and emotion to your work.

I can’t wait to see what you create. Let’s get started!

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!
