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 detailed artworks were the primary way to record and study plants, 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 peony while learning fundamental watercolour techniques.
With the guidance of a professional instructor, you’ll explore how to mix colours, create soft gradients, and build beautiful layers of transparent watercolour. We’ll use premium quality art materials including Winsor & Newton watercolour paints and Fabriano watercolour paper, ensuring a high-quality painting experience.
Whether you're starting your artistic journey or refreshing your skills, this workshop is a fantastic opportunity to unwind, learn something new, and connect with fellow creatives. Join us for a mindful and enriching session of watercolour painting, and take home your very own botanical masterpiece.
