'Autumn Watercolour' with Ellie Hooi
28th September 2025
Sunday
10:00-4:00
Adult workshop
(but GCSE and A-Level students are very welcome to book this. It will be a great skills workshop for those taking art)
Workshop Description:
Learn key techniques to create your own watercolour illustration with this course for beginners and improvers.
Be inspired the beautiful Autumn harvest and British animals local to the area including dormice, foxes, hedgehogs and squirrels. In this workshop we shall use watercolour paints and fine liner pens to draw and paint an array of pumpkins and use the techniques learnt to progress onto the woodland animals.
Whether you are new to drawing or a budding illustrator, Ellie will guide you through key techniques. You will have the chance to experiment with one-on-one guidance and support to create your own watercolour illustration, which you can then frame or make into a card.
By the end of the session you will have practiced watercolour illustration techniques, practiced drawing and painting different animals and have made a personal watercolour greeting card.
Artist / Maker / Tutor:
Ellie is an illustrator and stationery producer from Cardiff, Wales. She set up Ellie Hooi Illustration to create and share handmade watercolour illustrations, and to make greeting cards that would bring a smile to someone’s day through the joy of a handwritten card. Ellie has developed a large social media following and regular shares films of her bringing her characters to life through paint.
Ellie is mainly inspired by the local wildlife and seasonal produce that she grows at her allotment. Her characters have their own personalities and you can almost hear their little conversations, which makes me wonder is Ellie Cardiff’s very own Beatrix Potter?
What is included in the ticket price?
All art supplies are provided but you are welcome to bring your own along too if you prefer.
Tea, coffee and biscuits.
Where will the workshops take place?
In Beth’s studio at Insole Court, Cardiff.
Please read all the T’s and C’s before booking.
