The loose ink and watercolor technique  can easily be adapted to other subjects, providing a new creative tool for your arsenal. And you’ll have a wonderful mindful time of appreciating your favorite plants!

Back as an art student I remember agonizing over finding ways to stylize plants that would feel right to me. I loved looking at beautiful illustrations of plants, but I just somehow didn’t get how I could do that for myself.

In the class I’ll go over:

• How to make stylistic choices


• Building an appealing, stylized image from the essential elements


• The guidelines I use for creating stylized pictures of plants


• My approach to inking an image


• Using loose watercolor washes to add color and life

I’ll talk about why my guidelines work for me and encourage you to try them out for yourself. You can add and modify them as you see fit for your own use. I’ll show you the process from idea to execution, and give you tips to make your journey easier. The aim is to help you experiment with your own way of stylizing plantlife, learn a fun loose technique with ink and watercolor and give you the tools to develop your own personal voice!
