BORONIA – Paint Realistic Watercolour and BOTANICALS
This October on PATREON, we’re diving into the art of botanical illustration, focusing on the watercolor medium and the enchanting beauty of Spring. We’ll explore one of my personal favourite plants, the Australian native Boronia flowers. In this lesson, we’ll capture two exquisite sprays of delicate blooms, ideal for watercolour rendering, and engage in a delightful and intricate painting exercise.
This course delves into the Boronia plant, presenting a more complex subject for us to deconstruct and reconstruct, ultimately creating a stunning botanical illustration. We’ll also tackle the challenge of painting bright, fresh yellow, which is always a unique endeavour in watercolour. This exercise will enhance your fine line work and brush control, making it a fantastic opportunity for growth.
Our goal is to master realistic botanical illustration and watercolour techniques, while enjoying the creative process. This course invites you to disconnect from daily life and immerse yourself in the delicate beauty of Spring flowers, symbolising renewal and growth.
Ideal for nature enthusiasts, detail-oriented individuals, or anyone looking to develop their skills, this course emphasises enjoying the journey, learning, and having fun with the subject and medium. If you’re ready to embrace these elements, you’re in the right place.
We’ll cover essential techniques for realistic illustration and effective watercolour use. I’ve seen many students surprised by their own results, and I’m confident you’ll experience the same. Join me on this artistic adventure, and let’s create something beautiful together.
