📍 The Waverley, 62-63 Market Pl, Chippenham SN15 3HG
Discover the beauty of plants through gentle observation and watercolour in this relaxed and inspiring botanical illustration workshop. You’ll learn how to look closely at leaves, stems, flowers, and seed heads, and translate what you see into a clear, elegant watercolour illustration.
We’ll explore approachable techniques for drawing and painting botanical subjects, with guidance on line, shape, proportion, and colour. You’ll learn how to layer washes, add fine details, and create an illustration that feels both delicate and confident – perfect for capturing the character of a plant without needing scientific precision.
There will be a selection of plant and botanical reference images on the table, and you’re welcome to bring a favourite leaf or flower of your own to paint. You can work at your own pace, with as much or as little guidance as you’d like.
This workshop is beginner-friendly and low-pressure, designed to be enjoyable and encouraging rather than technical or intimidating. By the end of the session, you’ll have your own finished botanical illustration to frame, gift, or keep, along with an Introduction to Watercolour booklet to help you continue exploring watercolour painting at home.
We’ll have exclusive use of The Waverley’s spacious main upstairs room, and a complimentary drink of your choice is included in your ticket.
All materials are provided (or feel free to bring your own favourites), and no prior drawing experience is needed – just curiosity, a love of nature, and a willingness to experiment!
