Small Project Workshops

​

A Focused Study from Start to Finish

These short workshops are designed for artists who want to dive deeply into one subject and complete a full botanical illustration—from first sketch to final brushstroke—in just a few days.

Each workshop spans 3 to 4 sessions, focusing on a single plant specimen. Together, we’ll explore its structure, colour, texture, and form through careful drawing and layered watercolour technique.

Basil - Trout Lily - Apple - Mango - Mushroom - 
Onion -   

What we will do

  • Begin with observational drawing, developing an accurate and expressive outline of the subject

  • Work through colour matching, layering, and tonal values

  • Complete a finished artwork with guidance and feedback at every step

  • Strengthen your ability to stay focused on one subject while refining detail and technique

  • Learn how to pace a botanical artwork over a few days with clarity and confidence

​

​

Subjects will vary across the workshops—from the graceful form of trout lilies to the vibrant textures of herbs or summer blooms. You’ll receive a high-quality visual reference, but those with more experience are welcome to draw directly from life.

Who It's For
