Botanical Art Classes | Highwic (6 May - 10 June)

Join artist Jennifer Duval Smith at Highwic for a six-week botanical art class on Wednesday mornings, where she invites participants to slow down, observe, and reconnect with the natural beauty that has surrounded Aucklanders for generations.

The heritage gardens at Highwic offer a vivid tapestry of seasonal colour as inspiration – from the formality of its sweeping lawns to the intimacy of its flower beds and orchard.

The class will take place in the atmospheric Billard House, and in the gardens. Each session blends artistic technique with mindful observations, linking the botanical past and present through creative practice.

The six-week course covers:
• Nature journaling and observational techniques
• Successful drawing strategy
• Smarter colour mixing
• Mastering watercolour techniques
• Creativity and finding your artistic confidence

Places are limited and bookings essential.
