Loose Watercolour Café | Beginner-Friendly Online Class with Véro

Step inside a cozy little café and bring it to life with watercolour.

In this 1-hour, guided tutorial, you’ll learn how to paint a charming café storefront using a loose, expressive watercolour style. We’ll focus on capturing feeling over perfection, using soft washes, simple shapes, and intentional details to create warmth and personality in your painting.

This class is perfect if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by details or unsure how to make buildings feel inviting and alive. I’ll walk you through my full process, from sketch to final touches, sharing the techniques I use to keep things light, playful, and relaxed.

No pressure. No perfection. Just paint.

You’ll learn how to:

• Sketch buildings simply without overthinking perspective

• Use loose watercolour washes to create depth and softness

• Add windows, doors, florals, and small details without overworking

• Know when to stop and let the painting breathe

• Build confidence painting architectural subjects in a relaxed way
