Beginner's Drawing Class

Botanical Illustrations

A fun beginner botanical drawing & painting class that focuses on enjoying the process rather than stressing over perfection. Embrace the beauty of nature without worrying about every detail.

Sketch basic shapes as you learn how to capture the texture of leaves and petals. Color can be added with watercolor or colored pencils to create realistic, yet approachable, representations of plants & flowers. You get to experiment and find what feels most enjoyable.

Overall, it’s about connecting with nature, enjoying the artistic process, and building confidence in your skills without any pressure! Beginner friendly!
