Join botanical artist Lauren May SK for a fun and inspiring summer watercolour workshop focused on painting the iconic Australian gum leaf.
Lauren will guide you through techniques such as wet-in-wet, 'dropping in' and wet on dry painting to build up a realistic style of artwork.
This class is suitable for beginners but anyone more familiar with watercolours will be sure to learn more to hone their craft. 
Your lovely creative self!
All materials will be provided and you will leave with a completed piece and new skills to continue exploring botanical illustration.
