I’m delighted to offer online opportunities for you to learn botanical watercolour painting with me. During our online workshops we will slow down, taking time to really look at the bright, fresh and vibrant colours of the changing seasons. Using first wet and then dry watercolour painting techniques we will experience the mindful process of botanical art while learning to capture the beauty of our natural world.

Demonstrations will cover:
- colour mixing and matching,
- capturing light and shade,
- layering of colours,
- painting fine detail
- finishing with a WOW!
To make the experience as stress free as possible,
I will provide an image and a line drawing of a
simple plant subject for anyone who wishes to use it.
For those who choose to draw their own subject,
I’ll suggest a simple subject.
Students will have time to do some
observational drawing in the class.
Each workshop will happen over
two days – 4 hours per day.
The following will be included:
- Course outline with objectives
- Course notes
- Materials list
- Colour list and image for palette layout
- Image and line drawing of plant
- Template for watercolour layering
- Slideshow presentations
- Video demonstrations
- Live demonstrations
- Feedback will be available throughout by email.
