Botanical Illustration with Watercolor Pencils

March 28 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

$130

Create beautiful illustrations with watercolor pencils! Participants learn the techniques of using watercolor pencil, including color observation, color mixing and layering. Watercolor pencil will be combined with colored pencil to create detailed, vibrant drawings. Each week will focus on a different color palette and botanical subject. Instructor supplies flowers. Knowledge of how to use regular colored pencil is critical for success in this class. You will leave the four-week course with frameable art and the skills to create future masterpieces!

Nancy Bentivegna is a botanical artist who received her training at the New York Botanical Gardens through the Botanical Art and Illustration Program. After completing the program in 2010, she relocated to Boston. For the past eleven years she has been teaching a variety of botanical art classes in Boston and the greater Boston area. These courses are based on the instruction she received at the NYBG and include colored pencil, graphite, pen and ink and watercolor pencil.

Nancy prefers to work in watercolor pencil combined with colored pencil for depth and detail. She does custom pieces for clients both in the Boston area and New York. She recently relocated to Essex and will be offering classes at the Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook.
