A NEW one-day watercolour painting workshop for beginners run by local artist and printmaker Lou Davis in our Edinburgh City Centre workshop space. Join artist Lou Davis for a whole day learning to paint in beautiful fluid watercolours. Lou uses watercolour to create simple and approachable patterned and abstract pieces that allow you to get acquainted with this medium in a way that helps you focus, shut out the outside world and simply create. In this workshop, you’ll learn everything you need to get started painting beautiful and relaxing projects using watercolour. We’ll cover a number of projects throughout the day, that will take you through the basics of watercolour from colour mixing and making different brush strokes, learning about paper types and water control, through to mixed media techniques: adding textures, working with masking fluid and embellishing your pieces with pens and metallic paints. This workshop is perfect if you’re new to watercolour and offers a really beautiful way to explore the medium, it’s also good if you’re experienced in watercolour and are interested in using your painting and drawing time to relax and de-stress. All materials for this workshop will be provided, and the price includes morning and afternoon refreshments from local suppliers. You are welcome to bring your own lunch, or there are several cafés and takeaway options nearby. Earth conscious credentials We are mindful of the effect we have on the environment, and do our best to minimise our impact. You will take the lovely watercolours you have created home with you on the day, and workshop correspondence and notes are sent to you electronically. Favourite feedback We love to hear what you think about our workshops. Here's a favourite review for previous watercolour painting workshop with Lou. A totally peaceful and mindful three hours spent being guided and inspired by Lou…Just going with the flow. Enjoying the process. And being quite surprised by the results. Lynn is a wonderful host at The Arienas Collective…Thanks Lynn and Lou for a mindful morning.

In this Advanced Bridal Hair and Makeup Course you are taught 20+ Bridal Makeup Looks and 37+ Bridal Hairstyles with scope to creating more than 50 makeup looks and more than 50 hairstyles. This course is suitable for beginners (no experience required) and professionals wishing to update their existing knowledge and skills and add new ones. The course is accredited by the Guild of Beauty Therapists, one of the largest trade bodies in the beauty industry. Accredited certificates help to obtain liability insurance, discounts (upto 35%) from makeup brands, and access to specialised hairstyling products through trade only companies. Whereas, non-accredited courses run by many academies are unable to provide such benefits. Students Work After Course All makeup, hairstyling, jewellery and outfit setting is done solely by the student. Practice Sessions All makeup, false eyelashes, hair pieces, padding, hair products tools and equipment will be provided for students to use during the course in their practice sessions. During this Advanced Bridal Hair and Makeup Course you will be given full details of all products and tools used, both high end and cheaper alternatives.

Training heads / mannequins will be provided for students to use during the hairstyling part of the course. It is not practical to use live models as multiple hairstyles are demonstrated each day and it is necessary to use different hair products and backcombing. Continuous backcombing and application of strong hair products on a live model would cause severe damage to the hair.
