Watercolour Day for Beginners at Heligan
Heligan's own illustrator leads this hands-on introduction to watercolour painting, set in the estate's gardens as they move into their autumn colours. The class is kept deliberately small, so you get proper guidance and time to ask questions rather than feeling lost in a crowd. You'll cover the essentials — mixing colour, handling washes, and working with the unpredictability that makes watercolour both challenging and rewarding. No previous experience is needed. A peaceful way to spend a Saturday morning in one of Cornwall's most loved gardens, whatever your starting point.
