Overview

Starting from scratch, you’ll learn how to transform simple shapes into stunning 3D forms using just a pencil - perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your Christmas creations. 

Once you've mastered the basics, you'll sketch a beautiful winter fruit or vegetable, such as a holly or walnut, before diving into the magic of watercolour. Learn how to blend soft, layered tones and create natural finishes that bring your artwork to life. 

To wrap up this creative morning, you’ll design your own festive botanical masterpiece - ideal for turning into unique Christmas cards and charming gift tags that will delight friends and family. Whether you are familiar with watercolour or a beginner, Katharine Amies will spend the morning with you patiently and clearly teaching the art of botanical painting. A wonderful way to celebrate the season through art.
