Events Description
Let’s celebrate Earth Month with an Intergenerational Botanical Watercolour Experience For Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunts & Your Littles.
In this hands-on atelier, you and your little one will be introduced to the foundational techniques of botanical watercolour illustration, inspired by a curated selection of tropical plants.
Thoughtfully guided, you will explore the essential principles of colour blending, layering, and composition while learning to observe the subtle details that bring botanical subjects to life on paper. Techniques using Premium Caran d’Ache watercolour pencils will also be shared, allowing you to combine precise illustration with fluid washes for depth and dimension.
This is not simply an art class.
It is an experience to connect, notice nature, and create side by side. It’s a celebration of Spring and Earth Month and a meaningful moment of connection across generations.
While designed as a Mommy & Me experience, this atelier is equally beautiful for grandmothers and grandchildren, aunts and nieces or nephews, or any special adult and child pair wishing to share intentional creative time together.
