A Botanical Summer
Painting Realistic Flowers in Watercolor — from Observation to Mastery
This isn’t just another watercolor course —
It’s an invitation to slow down, look closer, and paint nature as it truly is.
Led by award-winning botanical artist Jarnie Godwin, this course opens the door into the world of botanical watercolor — a genre where precision meets poetry, and every line is rooted in observation.
You’ll learn to paint not just with technique, but with clarity, patience, and purpose.
This course is not about copying petals.
It’s about capturing life as it is — with accuracy, structure, and quiet confidence.
