About this Event
This hands-on workshop invites participants of all skill levels to slow down, observe nature closely, and translate organic forms onto paper through mindful, step-by-step creation. Led by Sara Ismaeil, an artist, observer and storyteller, by the end of the session, each participant will complete their own delicate watercolour botanical study to take home.
WHAT TO EXPECT
All-Inclusive Materials: All materials (quality watercolour paper, paints, brushes, and tools) and visual references are fully provided.
Observation & Sketching: Examining live plant specimens, understanding natural patterns, and mapping out proportions using light pencil lines.
Watercolour Techniques: Learning more about how color works, controlling water, and mixing natural green tones and earthy palettes, applying light washes (wet-on-dry or wet-on-wet) to establish base values and shadows.
