Through step-by-step demonstrations and guided practice, we’ll cover foundational watercolor techniques: wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, layering, color mixing, and creating clean edges and soft washes. Focused exercises teach how to observe plant shapes, build simple compositions, paint leaves, stems, and petals, and add delicate details and highlights to bring your botanicals to life. All skill levels welcome; by the end of the session you’ll complete a charming botanical study and leave with the confidence to continue painting at home. Materials provided.
