Mushrooms & Fungi Edition
In this session, we’ll focus on drawing and painting the intricate forms of mushrooms and fungi. This class is perfect for artists with some watercolour experience, looking to refine their sketching techniques and master subtle shading, textures, and layering with watercolours. You'll learn how to capture the organic shapes, rich tones, and delicate details of different fungi species, turning them into stunning artwork. Whether you want to enhance your botanical art skills or explore new subjects, this workshop offers an inspiring creative challenge.
What you get out of the class:
- Improved drawing skills, focusing on botanical shapes and structures
- Advanced watercolour techniques like wet-on-wet blending and fine detailing
- Guidance on colour mixing to achieve realistic tones and natural textures
- Insight into composing balanced, dynamic nature-themed pieces

All materials are provided for the class, so you can simply show up and enjoy the creative process. From high-quality watercolours and brushes to paper and reference images, everything you need to complete your artwork will be ready for you. Plus, you'll enjoy a hot drink and a slice of cake to keep you refreshed while you create. Just bring your enthusiasm!
