Capture the diversity of winter plant life in watercolor and ink. Working from the berries, seed pods and the winter blooming flowers of the UW Botanical Gardens you will be guided in an intuitive approach to sketching with pen and layering watercolor washes. Beginning with quick warm-up exercises you will learn how to paint loosely and accurately and gather tips that can be applied to everyday sketching. All levels are welcome.
