This 5-day intensive course introduces students to techniques in botanical painting using practical skills of detailed observation, drawing and painting. Students will develop their drawing skills, learn how to use watercolours effectively to create work inspired by nature and most importantly, they will be able to successfully complete botanical illustrations and compositions.
Led by artist Annamaria Aulicino, this course is based on step-by-step demonstrations as well as independent work in order that each student can practice at their own pace. Each participant will independently work on a set of assignments in the afternoon hours, and work will be assessed on each of the following days. Italian and international students interact in the same classes, making it an ideal venue to share ideas and enhance your overall experience.
