Dive into a tropical paradise by learning how to paint exotic botanicals in watercolor!

Tropical plants feature a vibrant array of colors and textures that invite creative experimentation. In this class, we’ll have fun bringing them to life on the page through the dynamic mingling of water and pigments.

We’ll start with some exercises in brushwork and water control to gain confidence with our tools and then explore how to utilize a variety of foundational watercolor techniques to represent tropical flowers and other botanicals. Developing the ability to layer will build depth and texture in our subjects, and understanding how to use fluid brushstrokes to construct leaves and petals will result in more dynamic compositions. Finally, we’ll use these skills to create a vibrant composition of exotic flora with a significant range of color and depth. You’ll leave with a completed painting and a set of techniques to utilize in future work.

Beginners are welcome in this class! No prior watercolor experience is necessary, and you’ll gain a sense of how fun this medium can be through our time together and ways to continue your learning if desired.

Join us in paradise for a relaxing time of exploring the creative versatility of watercolor!
