  • Botanical Illustration & Watercoloring (w/ Starter Kit)

    Very informative. Like the instructor. I am hoping for more of the same, maybe an advanced class? Maybe a class that focuses on just floral wreaths that could be seasonal? Then they could be used in a greeting card? For example -a Thanksgiving wreath to express ‘bounty‘ -A Christmas wreath -winter wreath -Spring -Holiday wreaths of different kinds -transitional session or with a mixture -Summer and -A vegetable garden wreath -Wildflowers I like wreaths -Floral settings in different kinds of gardens ( in nature and wild. That should keep everybody busy. It would be fun if you consider some of these -
