In this beginner-friendly workshop, join artist Elisabeth Ridenour in an introduction to the essential materials, tools, and techniques of both ink and watercolor. No drawing experience is required, as you’ll work from provided sketches to focus on building your skills with confidence. You’ll practice foundational techniques in each medium before learning how to combine them, discovering how ink’s precision and watercolor’s fluidity work together to create depth and dimension. By the end, you’ll have the tools to create your own unique, beautiful botanical artwork. All materials will be provided.
Each participant will receive two studies with sketches and practice sheets. Participants will likely finish one piece during class and will take the other sketch home.
