Pat Blair - Botanical Borders - Oct 8 & 9, 2026

I have become very interested in vintage botanicals, and they have inspired the paintings we will be doing in this class. Referencing the works of European artists from the Renaissance, we will be creating illustrations and borders using the forms found in these images. In this class, we will use watercolor as our medium and several brushes, including several sizes of rounds and wedge brush. We will use both wet on wet and wet on dry tehniques for our painting, looking for a fresh, light and airy feel. You will learn : How to design an illustration to be used stand-alone or as a border How to blend and use colors together effectively How to use vintage images as inspiration for your own artwork How to use a small pointed and wedge brush to produce a variety of painted elements
