Description

Capture the beauty of the natural world through paint. In this acrylic painting class for adults, you'll learn to develop the intricate forms, textures, and vibrant colors of plants and flowers using traditional botanical illustration as inspiration.

Through observation-based painting exercises, you'll explore layering, blending, and detail work to bring leaves, stems, blossoms, and botanical compositions to life. Our instructor will guide you in color mixing, composition, and brush technique—all tailored to the rich, fast-drying versatility of acrylics.

Perfect for artists of all levels, this class invites you to slow down, look closely, and connect with nature while refining your painting skills in a calm, studio-based environment.
