WATER & COLOUR - Abstract Watercolour Class at Sealanes
Learn about the beauty and versatility of watercolour in this 5 hour workshop at Sealanes

About this Event

Water & Colour returns in November! Due to popular request this course is returning in November. This course is a great opportunity to learn about all of the unusual and interesting things you can do with watercolour that is outside of the traditional.

In this workshop we won't really be painting 'a thing' so it is really great for any beginners with little to no drawing experience. To list some of the things we're going to try - powdered watercolour, watercolour inks, bubbles, salt and more.

In the class we'll create a lovely sketchbook filled with experiments, textures and notes that we'll bind together at the end of the class. There'll also be time towards the end to do more finalised pages separate from the sketchbook.

Low pressure:

This class is a mixture of learning something new and more in depth as well as just having a lovely day. It’s a very low pressure and friendly class - while learning techniques - the most important thing is to just experiment and see what happens.


What you'll come away with:

  • A sketchbook filled with mark making, experiments, drawings and paintings
  • A few more finalised paintings
  • More techniques that can be used when painting in watercolour
  • An understanding of how water, colour and the environment affect your painting


What's included:

  • All materials
  • 1 coffee per person

Who it's for:

Beginners and anyone keen on learning to paint in watercolour! Many people who come to my classes haven't painted since school - if you are one of those people you're very welcome. There is 0 drawing experience require for this workshop. Come with an open mind, and try not to pressure yourself to create a masterpiece but focus on experimenting and learning, thats the main thing :-)



How to get here:

The Clubhouse at Sealanes - if you go into the cafe, and then come out the back, you'll see this building! If not, just ask a staff member to point it out.

Just be aware that because the promenade (the big metal structure that goes all the way along Marine Parade) is under construction, the stairs next to Sealanes may be closed. So you may need to either walk / get a taxi down from Dukes Mound or along from the Palace Pier.

Public Transport / walking

  • You can get any coaster bus (12, 12a, 14, 27 ) and get off at Bedford Street and then walk down the stairs
  • Or you can walk/cycle from the Palace Pier along the seafront

Parking on Madeira Drive:

4 hours £15.70

11 hours £23.70

(Brighton parking is expensive sorry 😰)

YOUR TUTOR

Hi I'm Zara, your watercolour teacher! I am an artist based in Brighton and have been teaching watercolours for the last two years. Over that time, my classes have grown to 5 + classes per week. Most famously the classes at Waterstones, North Street on a weekday morning. In 2025 classes have expanded to include 'Plein Air' painting, which just means outdoor painting. These happen twice a week when the weather is good. I also teach pub painting / 'sip and paint' classes in the Autumn to Spring when its cold and longer weekend workshops around Sussex.

Over the next few years I'm looking forward to watercolour teaching becoming my main income as its the best job ever and I want to do it all of the time. I plan to do more outdoor courses, especially in summer 2026 and more longer evening courses that span over a few months.

My classes have always been orientated towards beginners (especially any who has never done watercolours before, or havent since school). I try to make all of my classes as accessible and low pressure for all skill levels. One of my biggest aims is to make art fun. Less about being 'an artist' and more about being a person with a brush, experimenting, making mistakes, having fun and meeting some lovely people along the way.
