Autumnal Watercolour Workshop with Alison Jane

Wednesday 28th October | 6-8pm

Join Alison Jane for a relaxing and creative evening of Autumnal Watercolour Painting, inspired by the wonderful shapes, colours and textures of the season.

Using a selection of real pumpkins as your inspiration, you’ll have the chance to slow down, get creative and explore the details that make each pumpkin unique; from their beautiful autumnal colours to their wonderfully gnarly bumps, twists and textures.

The workshop will begin with a gentle warm-up, where Alison will introduce you to some simple watercolour techniques and ways to create texture, depth and detail in your paintings. You’ll then put these techniques into practice as you create your own selection of pumpkin illustrations from observation.

Whether you’re completely new to watercolour or already enjoy painting, this workshop is designed to be relaxed, friendly and accessible. There’s no pressure to create a perfect painting; it’s all about taking some time for yourself, experimenting with the medium and enjoying the process.

Settle in with your paints, enjoy the cosy atmosphere of Lemon & Jinja and spend an autumn evening getting creative.

Your ticket includes a hot drink from the Lemon & Jinja café.

Come along, get cosy and celebrate the season through watercolour.

About the artist:

Ali is a professional calligraphy and watercolour artist, specialising in creating memorable creative experiences through live illustration, bespoke commissions and relaxing, creative workshops in Hampshire and beyond! She was always obsessed with creativity! Even as a young child, she would spend hours drawing, making and creating.

Ali was a teacher for 19 years - it has made sense to transfer these skills to teaching adult workshops. Teaching workshops is such a passion for her - she have taught a wide range of calligraphy and watercolour classes since 2021, with many attendees joining her repeatedly. We cannot wait to welcome her in!

From Ali 'Time and time again, I have listened to them say how relaxed and present they feel! This is so important to me: I want to encourage everyone to connect with themself and discover a new creative hobby. My mission with my workshops is simple: to provide a space for people to come and be creative, and to share as much of my knowledge as I possibly can with them!'

This workshop takes place upstairs at Lemon & Jinja.

Spaces are limited, so book early and treat yourself to a creative escape.
