Beginner’s Botanical Illustration Workshop

Join us for a hands-on workshop designed for anyone eager to explore the art of botanical illustration and painting! Perfect for beginners or experienced artists who are new to botanical watercolor painting. No prior experience or materials needed—just bring your enthusiasm!

This class focuses on foundational techniques to bring the beauty of orchids to life in a fun and approachable way.  You will learn essential watercolor techniques, including washes, blending, and layering. You will also explore tonal values to capture light and shadow and to capture the delicate textures and vibrant colors of orchids.  Tips on drawing will be provided, but this is not a drawing-focused class—tracings will be available to help participants jump right in!
