"Bring in the spring with this fun class that will give you a closer look at the beautiful blooms in your garden or local flower shop. Botanical painting combines art and science to make fabulous visual studies that capture a plant’s unique characteristics. In this course, students will work at their own pace while learning to use traditional techniques in drawing and watercolor to beautifully illustrate nature’s details. Lessons will include some basic botany, as well as a look at the work of historical and contemporary botanical artists to study the themes and compositions that make a painting successful. Demonstrations of drawing, color mixing, creating texture, and more will be provided, as well as one to one guidance to develop unique needs for any skill level. Basic art supplies will be provided, with a list of recommended materials for those who wish to expand their toolkit!"
