My name is Emily Wassell, and I’m a watercolour artist and educator from the UK. I started painting watercolours a few years ago to find creativity around my corporate job, and I fell in love with the process immediately! I specialise in painting floral and natural subjects and now have a creative business teaching other people about the magic of watercolours.
Watercolour is a fascinating challenge for someone who can be a bit of a control-freak! You have to learn to let go and let the water do its thing. I became hooked watching the pigments move, blend and bleed into each other, creating magical effects.
