2019 - Botanical Illustration Workshops, Barcelona

In this 2-day workshop, let's explore Christmas foliage, cones and berries using traditional botanical illustration techniques of line drawing and watercolour wash. You can make your own handmade cards or simply complete your works as gifts for loved ones.

Işık will guide you through each stage — from selecting and arranging your composition, to outline pencil drawing followed by watercolour washes applied in layers, and the use of a fine-line marker pen for those who wish to explore further.

This workshop offers both complete beginners and those with experience the opportunity to learn or refresh their skills whilst enjoying a relaxed and instructive day. This workshop is limited to only 5 people!
