Fee: $100
Location: New York Botanical Garden Mid-town Center, 20 W. 44th St., New York, NY
Description: Using fading flowers and autumn leaves as the subject focus for this workshop, Julia will introduce you to her favourite watercolor technique - wet-in-wet - and demonstrate its use at the initial stages of any botanical painting. She will share ideas and approaches to bringing these subjects to life: How to make autumn leaves glow and how to capture the translucent fragility of fading flowers. The workshop will be delivered through visual presentations, discussion, demonstration and plenty of one to one instruction.
Instructor bio: UK-based artist Julia Trickey loves depicting the detail of nature. She is particularly drawn to specimens that are less than perfect, such as autumn leaves, fading flowers and seed heads, often painting them larger than life. Julia has been painting botanical watercolors since 1998, with four Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medals and many other awards to her name. Her work is held in the collections of the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Shirley Sherwood, PhD, OBE, and the RHS Lindley Library. She teaches classes in the beautiful, historic city of Bath and beyond and has produced leaflets, articles and video tutorials on botanical painting.
Maximum class size: 12 students
