By popular demand, this autumn we welcome back renowned Watercolour artist, Rachel Toll. Rachel will be hosting three masterclasses this year, each around a different subject. This masterclass will take you through the steps of creating your own watercolour painting from the initial sketch of your desired image to putting paintbrush to paper and the various techniques that you can use and play with to reach your desired effect.
This workshop will capture the beauty of autumn using watercolour.
As the seasons change and the colours become warmer and more vibrant let’s let our brushes dance. Concentrating on a single leaf and then a woodland scene. In Rachel’s workshops she will take you step by step through the painting, and help correct mishaps as well as learning when to stop. Watercolour isn’t easy but it is a wonderful medium to use.

Rachel Toll is a self-taught watercolour artist living and working in Mid Devon. She played an exceptionally special part in the process of realising Michael’s vision for the interiors at Lympstone Manor. Michael wanted to capture the essence and beauty of the landscape in the interiors of Lympstone Manor. Each of the 21 bedrooms are named after birds of the Estuary and each room takes inspiration from its namesake into the colours and textures of the room.
Rachel captured the beauty of the surrounding landscape and brought to life the birds that inhabit this special place, with each room adorned with a unique watercolour of its namesake and the grand staircase elaborately decorated with floor to ceiling watercolour wallpaper.
Rachel has been shortlisted for the wildlife artist of the year several times, as well as having exhibited with the SouthWest Academy of Fine Arts, The Royal Institute of Painters in watercolour and the Society of Women Artists.
