Illustrating fruit, berries and seedheads

The end of summer and the beginning of autumn reward us with a wonderful array of brightly coloured fruit and unusual seedheads. In this two-day watercolour course, you will create a medley of images using various watercolour techniques, from dry brushwork to wet-in-wet washes. Botanical artist Reinhild Raistrick will be on hand to guide you through the process, from composing a pleasing portrait to painting the shine on glossy berries and mixing the colours for an autumn leaf.
