Intro to Botanical Watercolor – Summer Wildflowers

This beginner-friendly watercolor workshop focuses on painting realistic summer wildflowers. We’ll start by covering essential watercolor techniques, including blending, layering, and color mixing. Once comfortable with the basics, we’ll use these techniques to paint a selection of wildflowers.

To make the process easier, illustrations are provided so students can focus on painting rather than sketching. (However, those who enjoy sketching are absolutely welcome to do so as well! :)) All materials needed for the class are provided. The session is designed to be relaxed and encouraging, allowing participants to explore watercolor in a stress-free environment. 💐🌸🌼💐
