Description:

Enhance your drawing skills and create realistic floral illustrations in this six-session series with artist and educator Katharine Dickinson. Through guided demonstrations, you’ll practice techniques to capture a plant or flower’s defining features—line, shape, structure and colour—while refining your observation skills.  

Explore watercolour techniques for botanical art, including colour mixing, layering washes, and adding fine details with dry brushwork.  

This series blends online and in-person sessions, offering flexibility and hands-on learning. All online sessions will be recorded and accessible for replay until one week after the final session.
