Painting Wilted Botanicals

---

Contemporary botanical artist Victoria Braithwaite visits from Scotland to share the advanced watercolor techniques she uses to capture the delicate yet dramatic elegance of fading botanical specimens. Whether wilting in a vase or settling down into the earth for the season, plants create unique shapes as they twist and their colors simultaneously intensify and fade. In this class, you'll closely observe the beauty in decay as you learn to depict your floral subject's papery surfaces, punchy darks, and vibrant depths using watercolor. Prerequisite: Botanical Watercolor I

Instructor:	Victoria Braithwaite Victoria Braithwaite Victoria Braithwaite Based in Scotland, Victoria Braithwaite exhibited her first botanical works in 2013 and has rarely strayed from the path since, though always keen to explore and incorporate new techniques and materials. She searches out movement, grace and dramatic tension in her subjects. Mainly working in watercolor, always with drawing and observation as the backbone, she prefers subjects that are either emerging or on the wane, rather than in perfect bloom.
