[aug 30] botanical brushwork in watercolor
12-2:30pm
Join local artist Jackie Peacock for a relaxed, beginner-friendly watercolor session focused on painting botanical leaves. We’ll explore a variety of simple leaf shapes and learn how to mix and layer different shades of green. You’ll practice using brush pressure and movement to create elegant, expressive leaves - from soft, rounded eucalyptus to pointed ferns and flowing vines. These foundational brushstrokes will help you capture the natural rhythm and form of basic foliage. Whether you’re new to watercolor or looking to refresh your skills, this workshop offers a creative and calming way to connect with nature through art. Ages 14+.
If you plan on bringing your own supplies, please bring:
Full range of watercolors
Mixing palette or tray
Watercolor brushes in a size 4, 6, or 8 (or whatever your preference is)
Cold pressed Watercolor paper (brands I love using are Arches, Hahnemuhle, and Fabriano Artistico, and any handmade 100% cotton watercolor paper)
Pencil and eraser
Paper towel or cloth
Water jar for rinsing brushes
