PAINTERLY BOTANICALS II: AUTUMN DRAWING & WATERCOLOUR COURSE

As the seasons begin to shift, we’ll embrace the rich colours and organic forms of autumn through expressive botanical painting. We will focus on building confidence with watercolour and ink, exploring beautiful textures, loose mark making, and the delicate precision of fine liners.

Together we will create painterly botanical studies inspired by autumn’s leaves, seed heads, grasses, and wild foliage, learning how to layer transparent washes with expressive ink work to achieve depth, movement, and character. Perfect for those wanting to develop a more contemporary botanical style while expanding their creative techniques.

This inspiring online botanical art course, led by artist and educator Sisetta, is the perfect course to hone your skills- whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, the sessions are packed with tips to build your confidence, sharpen your observational skills, and refine your understanding of colour and technique.
