Learn how to create flamboyant florals with our expert artist Nicky Hunter.
During this workshop you will create expressive paintings of florals bursting with light and colour. This is not a botanical painting course, we are aiming for loose and lively watercolours with a real wow factor!
Nicky’s informative demos and individual guidance through the wet into wet painting method will help you explore a loose and lively style of painting with the challenging yet magical medium of watercolour.
Tutor: Nicky Hunter
Nicky Hunter is well known for her signature large scale contemporary watercolour floral paintings, but equally inspired by a range of subjects, aiming to capture them in a vibrant impressionistic style. Exploring the transparent and lucid qualities of watercolour whilst keeping colours clear and bright are key elements in Nicky’s artworks which are inspired by nature and ignited by colour – they allude to a sense of enchanted realism.
The development of her painting & illustration skills comes from studying a diploma in art then a degree in textile design leading to a varied & successful career as a textile designer spanning over 2 decades. This was where her passion for painting florals really blossomed, then further training with watercolour masters in recent years enhanced her practice with this delightful yet challenging medium. Her dedication to painting and skilled handling of the medium is evident in her beautiful artworks which she sells from her Buckinghamshire-based studio and galleries including The Gallery in Holt, who host high-calibre exhibitions of well-established UK artists.
Nicky enjoys sharing her knowledge and passion for watercolour hosting demos and workshops nationally for distinguished art schools & art societies; helping others elevate their artworks through understanding watercolour application and colour management.
