What Makes This Beginner Watercolour Kit Workshop Different
Many art classes can feel overwhelming or too advanced for beginners. This workshop is designed to be welcoming and pressure-free. You don’t need any prior experience or special skills. The goal is to make watercolour painting feel easy and enjoyable from the very first brushstroke.
Here’s how it works:
Order your beginner watercolour kit before the end of the month.
You’ll receive a carefully curated box HERE with all the materials you need. No guesswork or extra shopping required.
Join a live online session.
Kate, our founder and creative instructor guides you through each step, showing you how to use the paints and tools. You can ask questions and paint along in real time.
Access the replay anytime.
If you can’t join live, no problem. The session is recorded so you can watch and learn at your own pace on our YouTube channel.
This approach helps you build confidence with your brush while having fun. There’s no pressure to be perfect—just creative time that’s yours.

Tips for Getting the Most from Your Workshop Experience

Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can paint without distractions.
Have a cup of water and some paper towels handy for cleaning brushes.
Don’t worry about mistakes—they are part of learning and can lead to creative surprises.

Why Creative Time Matters
Taking time to be creative has many benefits beyond making art. It can reduce stress, improve focus, and boost your mood. Watercolour painting, in particular, encourages mindfulness because it requires you to slow down and pay attention to colours, shapes, and brush movements.
This workshop offers a chance to carve out that time for yourself in a supportive, guided way. It’s not about producing perfect art but about enjoying the process and building a new skill.
How to Join the Workshop
If you’re ready to try watercolour painting, ordering your Curious Octopus box is the first step. Boxes are limited because each one is packed by hand, so it’s best to order soon.
Once you receive your kit, you’ll be ready for the live online workshop whick will be streamed on TikTok and Youtube where you’ll paint alongside the instructor. After the session, you can keep practicing with your new materials and skills.
