Description
January 8, 2025: 3pm – 7pm EST
January 12, 2024: 4pm – 6pm EST
Instructors: Vern & Pam
Level: All levels – especially beginners!
Botanical Subjects: Pears (Bosc, but any variety will do) + simple household objects (sphere and cone)
Beginners may want to bring a Bosc Pear to class so you can easily follow along using similar colors. If you can’t find a Bosc Pear (or have some drawing experience) bring any variety that inspires you!
Workshop Description
Transform flat drawings into vibrant, three-dimensional wonders with a combination of whimsical watercolor and compelling colored pencil. We’ll practice with pears, the ideal subject to learn the fundamentals of our Draw Botanical techniques and study the art of depth and dimension using simple shapes and a single light source.

Recommended Supplies:
Find all of the supplies that we recommend here. 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.
