Description
RECORDED June 23 & 27, 2024
Instructors: Pam & Sam
Level: All levels
Botanical Subjects: Roses
Open roses with curling petals can be more challenging to draw, so we recommend beginners start with a tightly budded rose. (Experienced artists, choose any rose that inspires you!) Collect several roses so that some of them can be deconstructed for close examination of the various parts.
Workshop Description
Join us as we celebrate the beauty of these complex flowers with watercolor and colored pencil on Kraft paper – a joy to work on and a forgiving medium, perfect for tackling the intricate details of these stunning blooms. (Read more about why we love Kraft paper here.)
Approach drawing the rose as a lifelong pursuit toward capturing the rose’s elegance; it is something that we practice, over and over again. Whether you’ve been hesitant to try your hand at drawing roses or you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll leave this workshop feeling proud of your progress.
SPECIAL BONUS!
To celebrate our 100th Zoom drawing workshop, we’re offering a special bonus! Participants (who purchase before June 23) will be entered to win this ORIGINAL artwork from Wendy Hollender. 🎉 Winner will be announced during the last workshop session.

Recommended Supplies:
Find all of the supplies that we recommend here. Be sure to get Kraft paper for this workshop.
Feel free to follow along with any supplies you have (your result may just end up looking a little different). Our lessons are about a combination of fundamental 3D art concepts and colored pencil and watercolor technique, so you can skip the supplies-specific tips and still learn a lot about art basics including perspective, light source, composition, etc.
One of the main points we teach is colored pencil and watercolor technique for slow, continuous toning, but as long as you are able to achieve the same blending result with your chosen materials, you can still benefit from our course lessons.

If you cancel less than one week up to 48 hours before the event, you will receive a 50% refund (less 5% processing fee) if we can find someone to replace your spot. Less than 48 hours cancellation, we cannot issue a refund. You will still receive all recordings from the workshop, and you can watch them at your convenience.
We reserve the right to cancel a workshop at any time. If we cancel a workshop, you will receive a full refund.
