May, 7th at 4 pm CEST, Berlin / 3 pm BST / 10 am EDT, New York.
An Exclusive Gift from Jarnie
Every registered participant will receive an illustrated PDF guide – a thoughtful companion to the workshop.
Within its pages, Jarnie shares:
- The materials she trusts most
- The evolution of her work, from first wash to final petal
- An overview of her new course, "A Botanical Summer: Painting Realistic Flowers in Watercolor".
What you'll see and learn:
Does this sound like you?
My flowers look flat
You want them to feel rounded, alive, coming off the page.
I follow tutorials but can't paint on my own
When the video stops, you do not know what to do next. You want to understand the reason behind each step.
I want to try botanical painting but don't know where to startg
You want to see what botanical watercolor looks like up close, from the first wash to the finished form.
Water makes me nervous
Too much water, too little, color going where it should not. You want to see how a professional handles watercolor calmly and with control.
Your workshop with Jarnie Godwin
Jarnie will paint a single petal in real time. You’ll see her palette, her paper, her brush. She’ll show how to lay the first wash, build tonal transitions, shape the form with light and shadow, and finish with fine detail.

You've already seen that petal. You just didn't know where to begin.
The shadow curving under the edge. The color shifting from center to light. It's one living brushstroke. Jarnie will show you on May 7.
One petal. One hour. Free.
