Botanical Painting

16 lessons | 4 hours

You don’t need to be good at art to paint. You just need to start. After teaching for over a decade, Katharine Amies has seen it time and again. Given the right techniques and a little patience, anyone can learn to paint with precision and confidence. In this course, she takes you through the deeply absorbing process of botanical illustration, using watercolours to translate the details of nature onto paper. You’ll learn how to see like an artist, break down complex forms, and capture three-dimensional shape, colour, and shine with accuracy.

Botanical painting is so much more than simply painting plants with precision and accuracy; it’s about opening your eyes to the beauty of the natural world.

I LOVE IT

I have been loving the gardening courses so much…I couldn’t decide which one to get…so bought a subscription for the year. I love how each one has a different design (in terms of type and color) - so they truly feel like different experiences. So happy I signed up!

JESSICA, US

It really is great value

So much insight into a wonderful range of creative, interiors and gardening options. It is really great value. I've most enjoyed learning about paint with Edward Bulmer - and the practical aspects and insights in Rita's courses have also been so useful.

JENNA, GB

Tremendous, priceless information

I am loving the courses. I am getting pearls here! It makes me think in a totally different way and look up loads of new things. It is all comfortable to watch and I cannot tell you how much joy it is bringing me.

FRANKIE, GB

The greatest creative minds

These courses are akin to sitting across the table with some of the greatest creative minds. This is hard won wisdom generously passed out.

LJ, US

Very thorough courses

Very thorough courses. Much better than some other "masterclass" type of websites. You get very actionable lessons. I learned a lot and took multiple courses. The floristry course especially was a favourite.

TROVE, US

What a gem platform!

I am so impressed. All of a sudden all ideas coming to my head and somehow I am a lot braver when it comes to planning my sitting room. There is so much to choose from. Everyone will find a course for themselves!

B.P, GB

Really great creative courses!

So many varied courses, great selection of talented instructors, great organisation of lessons within each course.
