Get into the Christmas spirit with a little watercolour magic as you paint the most adorable festive koala with talented artist Sally Walsh from Sillier Than Sally Art Studio.

With a beautiful floral crown and a scarf of twinkling Christmas lights, this sweet little koala is bursting with festive charm and just waiting for you to bring her to life with watercolour.

Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the very first time or already love playing with watercolours, this relaxed and cheerful workshop is all about exploring colour, learning new techniques and enjoying a few hours of creative fun.

We'll kick things off with 30 minutes of playful watercolour exercises, where Sally will share some of her favourite tips for getting the most out of this beautiful medium. You'll experiment with how watercolours flow, blend and layer, helping you feel comfortable and confident before getting started on your Christmas koala.

And here's a little bonus! Your koala will already be lightly sketched onto your watercolour paper, so there's no need to worry about getting the drawing just right. You can jump straight into the fun part... painting!

With Sally guiding you step by step, you'll gradually bring your koala to life, building up soft layers of colour, adding depth and texture, and creating those gorgeous glowing Christmas lights. You'll also explore how to paint delicate floral details to make your koala's pretty flower crown bloom.

During this workshop you'll learn:

  • Essential watercolour techniques, including blending, layering and colour mixing

  • How to get the most out of your watercolour paints

  • Creating soft textures and beautiful colour transitions

  • Building depth and dimension through layers of transparent colour

  • Painting delicate flowers and botanical details

  • Creating the illusion of glowing Christmas lights

  • Adding those little finishing touches that bring your painting to life

Throughout the class, Sally will share plenty of handy tips, creative tricks and those wonderful little lightbulb moments that make learning watercolour so much fun.

 

Perfect for beginners and experienced creatives alike, this Christmas watercolour painting workshop is a lovely opportunity to slow down, enjoy a little festive creativity and discover just how enchanting watercolour painting can be.

You'll head home with your very own Christmas koala artwork, some new watercolour skills and, quite possibly, a newfound love for painting!
