You can be an absolute beginner, but you must have an eye for detail and enjoy working slowly. This style of work is all in the detail and incredibly rewarding for those who have the patience. Join Heidi in exploring and learning more about the intricacies of the watercolour medium working in realism. You will create incredibly detailed artworks and learn a wide range of techniques for a lifetime of art practice.
The specific subjects are yet to be determined, but Heidi is thinking she will cover 2 days of botanicals, 2 days on a small bird and 1 day on a butterfly study, giving you a fantastic cross section of creative challenges and practical learning. Heidi is really looking forward to mixing things up in this amazing workshop.
Heidi's students rave about her workshops and the value that they get. She is renowned for being able to teach even the most nervous of beginners and she attracts an intensely loyal following as a result. This workshop is perfect for nature lovers, and for those who appreciate detail and have the patience needed to build detail using watercolour.
Don't worry if you're new to this type of illustration, you are learning from the best and Heidi will guide you through step by step.
