Beginner's Watercolour Botanicals LESSON iv 'Creating Form & Realism', EHV

You're invited to join us in learning the fundamentals of botanical watercolour painting. Whether you've a few paintings under your belt, or are just starting out with watercolour, I'll have some fresh tips and tricks for you to discover, as well as a printed guide to take home.

NOTE This ticket is for the single stand-alone Lesson iv. You can purchase a ticket for the whole course/ all 4 lessons together (this block runs Nov-Dec '24) (if it's full, sign up for my monthly where you'll hear when I plan the next course). You can join us for this one session, or for all four.

We'll work on how to~

• Become familiar with your materials

• Translate your vision for the painting on to the page

• Create stunning and convincing botanicals and florals

• Make painting a fun and stress-free experience!

Each session has a different focus~

Lesson iv~ 'Creating Form & Realism' (Weds 11th Dec 19.00-20.30)

We'll work on~

• Learning the rules of physics and 3D space, then break them for botanicals that leave a lasting impression!
• We’ll look at tonal values and shadow, how to ‘anchor’ your subject in the scene, and how to show how the objects in your space relate to each other
• How you can create convincing and ‘real’ botanicals without them being perfectly realistic.

Each lesson will have a different choice of real and photographed botanical subjects to paint and study, and you'll pick up the fundamentals which can be applied to any painting subject, not just botanicals.
