WORKSHOPS

Botanical Art Workshop

If you are interested in any of the classes, please do contact me for me information, but you may need to book directly through the workshop venue.

Working directly from the subject, Karen will guide you through observational drawing and watercolour techniques to create a finished illustration that reflects a botanical understanding of your subject and captures the beauty of the plant.

Sometimes Karen will ease you into the workshop with some playful drawing exercises or fun watercolour techniques. Leading on from this, through a little bit of botany exploration, she will guide and support you to create a detailed observational drawing, sometimes using pen work to show shadow through the ‘stippling’ technique. With one to one support and class demonstrations, you will experiment with watercolour techniques and accurate colour mixing to paint your chosen flower.

During the session you will familiarize yourself with the materials and tools needed for botanical art and the techniques used, slowly building up layers of paint to create luminosity and depth.

All abilities welcome.

Please note, some workshops require you to provide your own materials.
