Botanical Art in Drybrush Watercolor

 

Experience the beauty of autumn’s natural forms through the refined technique of drybrush watercolor, a method cherished by botanical artists for its precision and subtlety. In this class, you’ll explore the elegant structures of dried seed pods, leaves, and other seasonal specimens, learning to capture their intricate details with disciplined brushwork.

 

We’ll start with foundational exercises to help you master the drybrush technique, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident as you progress. Then, you’ll select an autumn subject of your choice—whether a curling leaf, a sculptural seed pod, or another natural treasure—to create a detailed botanical study.

 

Join us for an immersive painting experience that will deepen your observation skills, expand your watercolor abilities, and celebrate the quiet beauty of nature’s autumn remnants.
