Description:

This series blends online and in-person sessions, offering flexibility and hands-on learning. Please confirm location of each session before registering.

Enhance your drawing skills and create realistic floral illustrations in this six-session (mixed online & in-person) 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.
