Six-week course for people interested in painting plants and flowers in a fresh and loose way. It's ideal for you if you are new to botanical art or you have painted before and want to try new things.
We will work on loose paper and in sketchbooks, using a variety of media including watercolour, mixed media, and collage. You'll learn different techniques and be able to explore the ones that you really enjoy.
You might want to paint flowers that look loose but real, or you might want to try a more semi-abstract style. The most important thing is to discover what YOU love about painting plants and flowers.
Who is this course for?
Beginners looking to explore different art materials in a supported environment
Experienced creatives looking to explore new techniques
Anyone interested in looking at botanicals in a loose and abstract way
