About the Course

In out modern world of text messages and emails, receiving a hand written letter already feels quite special. Add the surprise of being given something beautifully painted and you have a unique gift that is infinitely more personal than an online message. Decorated Letters are a chance to slow down and step into the world of snail mail with an artistic twist. In this workshop we will cover the basics of painting botanicals in watercolours and transferring this skill to decorating letters, as well as the option to include origami letter folds.


All materials will be provided as well as tea, coffee and cake (essentials!), however, if you have materials you'd like to test out, or a garden full of flowers you'd like to paint, feel free to bring them along. Please get in touch if you have any questions; email me directly via emma@valerian.co.uk.


Please note this course is for adults. For the children's version, see here:

"I’ve had great fun practising my newly learnt skills.  All that I hoped to achieve from the workshops - a looser style, working quicker, being able to work without needing magnifying lenses - has been achieved, and more. What has emerged in me is a new attitude to my art in that I no longer worry about it being perfect but about enjoying the process of portraying what is in front of me. Emma is a gifted teacher - as well as being a very pleasant person who made the sessions so enjoyable as well as productive.

 

Here’s my first attempt, and then a couple of examples from the end of the course. What isn’t captured here is the increased enjoyment in drawing and painting I gained from those first efforts to how I feel when drawing and painting now".
