Step into the world of botanical illustration with this relaxing and rewarding watercolour painting workshop, perfect for both complete beginners and experienced watercolourists. If you’re searching for inspiring art classes for adults or a hands-on watercolour class near you, this session offers the ideal creative escape.
Botanical illustration has a rich history as both a scientific and artistic practise. Before photography, these intricate artworks were essential for recording and studying plant life, helping botanists and naturalists understand the structure and diversity of flora. In this botanical watercolour workshop, you’ll honour that tradition by painting a vibrant Dutch Iris, while learning fundamental watercolour techniques in a calm and supportive setting.
With guidance from a professional instructor, you’ll explore how to mix colours, create soft gradients, and build beautiful layers of transparent watercolour. You’ll work with premium materials, including Winsor & Newton professional watercolour paints and Fabriano watercolour paper, for a high-quality painting experience from start to finish.
Whether you're just beginning your artistic journey or refreshing your skills, this workshop offers a mindful, enriching way to unwind and connect with fellow creatives. Join us for a peaceful and inspiring session of watercolour painting, and take home your very own botanical masterpiece.
