Mindful and calming, this workshop will offer a sense of control through the soothing action of watercolour painting. Explore patterns and colour as an aim in itself with no judgement or goal beyond the joy of painting itself.

With a focus on the therapeutic benefits of using paint artist Sophie Berger will guide you through a series of soothing and meditative exercises that are designed to help you let go of your worries and lose yourself in the soothing, action of brush on paper.

COURSE TUTOR: SOPHIE BERGER

Sophie Berger is a practicing fine artist with work in UK and international galleries, she is a regular teacher for the short courses at Plymouth College of Art and Kingbeare Studios as well as Exeter Phoenix. Sophie’s work is greatly affected by colour and atmosphere, both of which change due to weather and seasons, so observation of the environment and surroundings influence her work both directly as well as subconsciously.

Living in a remote village on Dartmoor, Sophie spends her time on the moors or coastline, sketching in charcoal and coloured ink then using these to influence her paintings back in her studio.

Workshop attendees get 10% off all food and hot drinks at the Café Bar.
