Under the Hedge
acrylic on canvas, 20 x 10 inches
Welcome back to our Tuesday Workshops! We kick off 2026 with a cheeky hedgehog. Here, we will build in detail as we create the natural habitat for this little fellow. Exploring a value range in colour (rather than just grey) allows us to depict the variety of greenery that makes up this snippet of our hedgehog’s home.

Parrots of the Sea
watercolour on paper, 9 x 12 inches
We continue our welcome back month with more colour to chase away any January blahs. Puffins, known as ‘Parrots of the Sea’ due to their parrot-bright colourful beaks, are the sturdy seabirds of the East Coast. Again, exploring how we use ‘value’ (lightness and darkness) in our paintings, we will employ changing the density of our watercolour paint to capture those bright beak colours contrasted against the pale, far away sea.
