Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, this class is designed to guide you through the essentials of watercolor, from mixing vivid hues and creating delicate washes to adding detail and depth to your botanical subjects. We’ll focus on a variety of tropical plants like monstera, bird of paradise, hibiscus, and more, using reference images and live demonstrations.
