Step into the captivating world of botanical art. This specialised art form combines precision, detail, and creativity to reveal the natural beauty of plants.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn to bring botanical specimens to life through skilful sketching and watercolour techniques. Start by mastering the essentials of proportionate pencil sketches, followed by the art of creating depth and dimension through light and tone, using watercolours. Explore the principles of light and shadow on real-life specimens and refine your ability to add intricate details that make your artwork extremely realistic.

This workshop is designed to nurture your creativity while teaching the fundamental skills to capture nature’s beauty with watercolour paints. Perfect for beginners and those with some watercolour experience, this workshop is your gateway to discovering the joy of botanical art.
