In this 44 minute class we will create a Monstera leaf illustration and talk about the basics of creating botanical illustrations with watercolors. The class is project-based and interactive. You're welcome to post your questions, comments and work in progress at absolutely every step.
The class covers following topics:
1. Main watercolor techniques used in botanical illustration: wet on wet, dry in wet and lifting.
2. The basics of botanical pencil drawing.
3. Choosing a color scheme for your future illustration. The differences between different shades of green.
4. Step-by-step demonstration of watercolor painting of a Monstera plant leaf.
The goal of this class was to simplify the process of creating botanical illustrations and show the logic and the sequence of actions which are behind this.
