Wonderland – the watercolour workshop!

I have been so deeply excited about launching this new workshop, that I was starting to dither… getting caught up in my PERFECTIONITIS. That’s because ‘Alice in Wonderland’ is one of my favourite stories. It is so rich in drama, message and fun. I collect Alice books and just adore seeing the myriad of ways artists bring their own interpretation to Lewis Carroll’s words.

But just like Alice, I decided to dive in and enter into Wonderland…

Can you believe, when I was in London last month, I actually met Alice,
The Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit at Picadilly Circus?
They invited me to their tea party!

(As you can see in the video, I certainly haven’t lost any of my enthusiasm for my workshops!)

In the tradition of ‘Mermaid Circus’ I love mashing up two favourite things to create something new. In Wonderland I take my favourite story and characters and mix them liberally with my favourite art medium:

Watercolour.

Watercolour is just like the Cheshire Cat...
you never quite know what it is going to do… or what the effects will be…

Watercolour is just like the Mad Hatter…
brilliant, whacky and not quite in step with you,
but a true friend none the less.

Watercolour is just like the White Rabbit…
It rushes, then stops and ponders, only to change it’s mind and direction,
but always ends up where it was going anyway.

Watercolour can be just like the Queen of Hearts…
dramatic and unforgiving!

Watercolour makes me feel like Alice.

I must be brave with my brush once I start my journey across the page,
as there is no going back.
I am drawn on to see what comes next, trusting that my curiosity and wits
will get me through whatever comes along my path.
I must collaborate with watercolor just as Alice had to
with the characters she meets on her many adventures

I want to share my passion and love for this unique medium with you.

I think that with the rich heritage of the Wonderland stories,
You and I will make beautiful, meaningful artwork.

In this HUGE workshop, I have planned amazing, delectable, technique-rich lessons.
The LIVE portion will run for 8 weeks.
You then have Lifetime Access.
There is a Facebook group and all the fun stuff you expect from one of my workshops.

There are a few things that
are new for this workshop.

Daniel Smith have given me Dot Cards for all Wonderland participants!
We will send them wherever you are in the world.
This way we can all join in on the amazing things these watercolours can do!
ALSO!

I have a few little treasures that I have been saving up for the people who are most excited about my workshops.

Look at these tiny Alice Charms that I found in Japan! I snaffled all that were in the store so I could gift them to the first people who decided to head off on this next wonderful adventure with me! The first people to join the workshop will be sent them with their Dot cards. They are the sweeeeeetest little things! I wish I had them for everyone, but I only have a few – so be quick!

 I cannot wait to share the
techniques and happy vibrancy
I bring to all my workshops!

I hope you enjoy the details of the workshop and are curious to come and join in the artventure!
