Botanical Watercolour Drawing with Julie McEnerny, artist

Discover the delicate beauty of the natural world through art in this inspiring four-week course with experienced botanical artist Julie McEnerny. Each session focuses on a different plant specimen, guiding you to observe, interpret, and capture its unique form and detail using the subtle, expressive qualities of watercolour pencils.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists, this class offers a calm, creative space to slow down and reconnect with nature — one leaf, petal, and stem at a time.

Outcomes:

• The foundations of botanical illustration, including composition, colour mixing, and layering techniques
• How to accurately observe and render plant forms using professional-grade materials.
• The botanical names and features of each plant specimen studied.
• By the end of the course, you’ll have created a series of elegant botanical artworks that celebrate the intersection of art, science, and mindfulness.
