“If you can paint a leaf, you can paint the world.”   Ruskin

Have you ever wondered how to layer glowing, colorful leaf shapes, or create delicate leaf veins? Come create some leaf studies of your choosing.
Useful watercolor and drawing demonstrations and master examples are shared to inspire your studies. Various leaf subjects are available to meet your level of experience, and loose or detailed techniques.

Whether you are a new or experienced artist, this workshop provides specific subjects for various skill levels. Drawing and watercolor demonstrations support your drawing and watercolor technique. Learn how to control values and color mixing to create dimensional botanical forms. You can keep your drawing and painting flowing at home with take – home handout notes and resource list.

“The wise draftsman brings forward what he can use most effectively to present his case. His case is his special interest - his vision. He does not repeat nature."
