Floral Watercolour Workshop

21st August 2026 | 10:30am-1:00pm

Join us at Scone Palace for a wellbeing and therapeutic workshop devoted to the art of floral watercolour painting.

Held in the peaceful summerhouse within the Palace grounds, this session takes inspiration directly from the seasonal flowers and foliage growing in the historic gardens. There will be opportunity to relax and explore the gardens too.

Hosted by floral and textile artist Clare Robinson, this workshop is designed to introduce beginners and intermediates to the medium of the loose watercolour, helping your nurture and develop your own style. You will learn how to illustrate seasonal flowers and foliage from the gardens, experimenting with loose style watercolour technique top convey the beautiful rich colours and textures of the season. Clare will demonstrate over the morning and there will be plenty of one-on-one guidance to help enhance your observation and expressive painting skills. We will explore quick sketching with watercolours, pencils and pen too.

The workshop will include all art materials and flowers, but if your have your own art materials you are more than welcome to bring along. Tea/coffee and shortbread will be provided.
