Overview

Starting from scratch, you’ll learn how to bring simple shapes to life, mastering the art of creating stunning 3D effects with just a pencil. You’ll then apply these newfound skills to draw a beautiful, lifelike vegetable or fruit, like a delicate rosehip.

After sketching, you’ll dive into the world of watercolour, learning how to create smooth, layered tones and effortlessly move the paint around the paper to achieve a soft, natural finish. Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to draw and paint your very own flower or botanical subject – a true masterpiece.
