SUMMARY:Watercolour Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Every Tuesday afternoon from 2:00 to 5:00 pm\, Harry hosts a watercolour workshop at the Parkhouse Centre. This welcoming gathering is open to all ages and skill levels\, catering to beginners and seasoned painters alike. \nThe afternoon commences with a demonstration by Harry\, providing valuable insights and techniques for participants to explore.  Following the demonstration\, attendees are encouraged to embark on their own artistic journey\, receiving guidance and support from Harry along the way. This isn’t a rigid course—it’s a relaxed and informal gathering where creativity flourishes. \nAmidst the creative process\, there’s time for a delightful coffee break\, fostering camaraderie and lively conversation among fellow artists. And\, if you’re lucky\, there might even be some delicious cake to enjoy! \nThe workshop welcomes families during holiday periods\, offering a unique opportunity for intergenerational creativity. With seascapes being a popular theme by demand\, participants have the chance to capture the beauty of Bude’s coastal scenery on canvas. \nBy the end of the session\, most attendees depart with a finished painting they can be proud of—a tangible representation of their artistic journey. \nSpaces for the workshop are limited\, so be sure to contact The Gallery to reserve your spot and unleash your creativity in this nurturing and inspiring environment. \n£20 includes all equipment.
