This class looks at how to convey some of the different surface textures seen in the plant kingdom – shiny, papery, complex, velvety, bloom, etc. through watercolor techniques. The sessions will consist of presentation and demonstration by Julia Trickey, short exercises and longer projects. One to one help will be given as far as possible during the session. The class is delivered via live Zoom sessions; recordings will be available after each class.
