Botanical watercolor classes at Sharon Art Studio
January 17-February 7
Watercolor Botanicals: Line and Wash Techniques
4 weeks · Saturdays · 10am–1pm
Begin the new year surrounded by flowers — on paper, at least. Over four Saturdays at Sharon Art Studio in Golden Gate Park, we’ll dive into the art of floral watercolors using the line and wash technique. Each session will guide you through sketching blooms with pen and bringing them to life with watercolor washes that capture their character, color, and season.
Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or have painted for years, this class offers a chance to slow down, observe closely, and discover new ways to translate flowers into art.
All levels welcome. Bring your curiosity (and your favorite pen).
Get your materials
Materials are separate from tuition, you have two flexible ways to get the right tools:
Option A: Bring Your Own (with consultation) Best for artists with existing gear.
If you have your own tools, we can absolutely use them!
Once you book, we’ll do a quick check of your inventory to ensure your paper and paints will work for our specific techniques.
Option B: Fill the Gaps (with my curated Amazon list) Best for those who have some items but need specific upgrades.
Need a better brush or the right paper? I have curated a specific list of my trusted tools on Amazon.
You get the exact items I use without the guesswork, delivered to your door before class.
