Watercolour Flower Collage with Chloe Jean

About the event 10am – 4pm Step into a world of colour, texture, and creativity in this mixed media collage workshop! Using a combination of watercolour, gouache, ink, and other artistic mediums, you’ll create a vibrant 3D floral garden scene—similar to the one shown above. Participants will begin by experimenting with different paints and materials to design a variety of botanical elements, exploring expressive mark-making, colour blending, and layered textures. Once your artwork elements are complete, you’ll cut, arrange, and layer them to build a lush, dimensional collage full of depth and movement. The final piece will be assembled in a shadow box-style frame, allowing your artwork to come to life with sculptural vibrancy and visual richness. This workshop is perfect for both beginners and experienced artists who want to explore mixed media techniques and experiment with texture, layering, and colour. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a stunning, framed artwork that’s uniquely your own.
