Bloom & Flow: Floral Watercolour Still-Life

Discover the beauty of translucent florals from still-life, in this relaxed, beginner-friendly watercolour workshop. You’ll learn how to paint soft, overlapping petals using the wet-on-dry glazing technique, creating delicate layers that glow with light and colour. We’ll then add simple ink details to bring your blooms to life with a modern, minimal finish. Designed for all skill levels, this workshop focuses on just two core techniques so you can build confidence without feeling overwhelmed. Expect a welcoming, social atmosphere, step-by-step guidance, and plenty of one-on-one support. You’ll leave with a finished, matted floral artwork ready to take home — and the skills to keep painting long after the festival ends. No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity and enjoy the flow.

About the Artist

Tara is a Vancouver-based watercolour artist inspired by the beauty of nature. Born in Singapore and raised in the UK, she grew up surrounded by crafts and a deep appreciation for the natural world. After working in the film industry as a prop maker, she moved to Vancouver with two suitcases and a watercolour palette gifted by her father — and fell in love with both the city and the medium. Today, Tara balances prop making with her watercolour practice, creating artwork that evokes wonder and serenity. Her goal is simple: to create art that feels joyful, meaningful, and deeply cherished.
