Celebrate Springtime by capturing the intricate beauty of wildflowers with watercolors!
Spotlighting local Santa Cruz County flowers as models, participants will learn how to paint the nuanced features of these stunning seasonal subjects. In addition to learning the painting techniques, there will also be a scientific lecture on botanical identification and observation.
Learn the basics of watercolor with step-by-step instruction by a master naturalist and artist. Apply your observations to hue, composition, brush techniques, color theory, color-mixing, layering, creating a palette, and more. This class is perfect for aspiring artists or creative nature lovers with no prior experience, only a passion for the arts and sciences.
Wildflowers for painting reference will be provided by the artist, but participants are welcome to bring their own mushrooms to paint as well. Participants will have a completed art piece to take home at the conclusion of the workshop. Open to ages 16+/all experience levels. All supplies included.
