Ocean Deep Jellyfish In Watercolor With Xiao Fan
Experience the quiet mystery of the deep ocean through watercolor painting with artist and designer Xiao Fan, known for her playful approach to illustration and tactile art-making.
In this workshop, participants will create a jellyfish-inspired artwork that explores translucency, movement, and glow through layered washes and fluid brushwork. Xiao Fan will guide participants through composing floating forms, building depth with transparent colour, and using water to suggest the gentle pulse and drift of jellyfish in the ocean depths. Each participant will develop a personal interpretation of these delicate sea creatures and their luminous surroundings.
What to Expect
Participants will receive guided instruction on watercolor techniques for painting translucent forms and soft gradients. The session will explore colour layering, controlled bleeding, and brush movement to suggest motion and depth. Creative exercises will focus on capturing the floating rhythm of jellyfish using light, fluid strokes. All tools and materials are provided in a relaxed, beginner-friendly setting.
Why Join
Jellyfish offer a unique subject in watercolor, balancing structure and softness, control and chance. This workshop provides both technical guidance and a calm space to slow down, observe, and paint with intention while exploring a more atmospheric and expressive approach to watercolor.
About the Subject
Watercolor is especially suited to portraying jellyfish, as its transparency mirrors their delicate forms and glowing presence in water. By learning how pigment, water, and timing interact, participants will discover ways to create depth, movement, and mood. Each artwork can stand on its own as a finished piece or serve as inspiration for further exploration into ocean and nature-themed painting.
About The Artist

With a background in illustration and a passion for accessible, hands-on creativity, she encourages people to find joy in making things that are uniquely their own.
