Summer Botanicals in Watercolour Workshop

Summer Botanicals in Watercolour with Jeni Neale.
Spend a summer’s day exploring how to paint those rich, velvety petals that make seasonal blooms so irresistible. With guidance from botanical artist Jeni Neale, you’ll learn textural watercolour techniques, gentle layering, and colour mixing to capture the softness and depth of midsummer flowers. By the end of the day, you’ll have a beautifully detailed study to take home.
Fresh summer flowers will be provided, plus a piece of hot-pressed watercolour paper. Bring your art supplies.
