Event information

Spread your wings with a gentle session where you will learn to paint birds in watercolour. We will use an impressionist technique and flowing colours to encourage experimentation and playfulness. You will try a simple method of sketching a bird or you can trace from a reference source, then use transparent watercolours to create a unique painting of your own. Suitable for beginners and also those who wish to broaden their horizons and loosen up their painting. Materials provided. 

About your tutor

Judy Goring

As far back as I can remember I have loved Art and creativity. This led to Art College, training and practising as a Graphic Designer, gaining a degree in Art History, teaching Art and Textile Arts at secondary school and becoming a Specialist Teacher for the Vision Impaired. Of course my greatest achievement has been having two wonderful children and staying happily married to my lovely hubby!

For the last 20 years I have had the privilege of leading Art and Craft workshops for a variety of groups and at Create98 since 2021. My regular commitment here is to the midweek Art Hub with a great group of 11-16 year olds, but I also very much enjoy sharing my passion for all things creative with anyone keen to learn new skills and make something uniquely individual to them.

The lucky part of this is that I've been able to experiment and play with a myriad of wonderful materials before teaching others how to use them! I work with all ages and my aim is to show each one how to use a variety of 2D and 3D materials and then let the creative juices flow. Once you start on the experimental journey, it can take you anywhere and it never gets boring!
