Orchid Watercolor Painting Experience (Paint from Living Orchids!)

Step into an afternoon of beauty, creativity, and community as we paint from living orchids in all their quirky, elegant glory.

Hosted at the lush and enchanting FooFoo Orchids, this immersive watercolor experience is led by artist and educator Mikhayla Harrell and designed for all levels, whether you’ve never touched watercolor or you’re ready to level up your floral painting practice.

You’ll be guided through watercolor techniques for capturing orchids: soft transitions, bold color moments, petal structure, and the delicious little details that make orchids feel alive on paper.
