Children’s Illustration and Watercolour workshop “Flowers and Plants” with Olivia York (School Grades 4-6)

Illustrator Olivia York will assist students in creating your own watercolour illustration of a plant or flower of your choice. Students will experiment with techniques that are discussed and demonstrated during this Flowers and Plants Watercolour Illustration Workshop and will have the opportunity to use them in an artwork they create.

Photos and physical plants will be provided for inspiration and Olivia will assist you in the sketching process and outline the foundational skills of watercolour to create your masterpieces. Feel free to bring in a print out of your favourite plant or flower as a reference.

Suitable for all skill levels, this class is a good balance of the technical and creative. Olivia strives to help build creative confidence and technical ability.

Places will be limited to ensure Olivia can offer one-on-one tuition for each student.
