In this class, I’m going to show you how to paint a botanical-style study of the Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) using watercolor and ink.

I’ll show you how to use as few brushstrokes as possible to create a comprhensive study showing the berries, leaves, flowers and dissections. A classic trait of botanical painting is depicting a plant in all its stages—flower, fruit, and sometimes even buds and roots—within a single study to provide the most accurate and comprehensive portrayal for identification.

Learning Outcomes:

• Explore combining watercolor and ink for a vibrant, detailed look that takes less time to complete

• Practice using minimal brushstrokes to avoid overpainting and keep your painting looking luminous, not muddy

• Gain confidence in simplifying complex subjects using the 3-step painting method

• Understand how using warm and cool colours can help bring your painting to life

Here’s a free PDF guide with all of the reference materials to help you complete the project. Want even more instruction on using my 3-step painting method? Check out my FREE Tiger Lily Watercolor Workshop here.
