Botanical Watercolor Sketchbook
|
Explore and interpret the natural world by combining watercolor with graphite pencil and fineliners
If you’re looking for inspiration for your illustrations, the answer may lie in stepping out and contemplating the nature around you. Its perfection, subtlety, and extensive variety could be the key you’ve been searching for. Illustrator and watercolor specialist Paulina Maciel is passionate about the natural world, which is evident in the creations of her studio, Canela Estudio, for branding, packaging, book covers, invitations, and more, as well as her other course Botanical Illustration with Watercolors.
In this course, learn to fill a notebook with botanical watercolors, including illustrations and handwritten notes, by studying nature. This practice exercises your capacity for observation, visual description, and rapid interpretation and helps you understand many of the species that surround us.
Start the course by getting to know Paulina Maciel, her work as an artist, what inspires her, and how illustration became her whole world.
Paulina shows you some illustrated journals with various themes from different artists to get your creative juices flowing. Learn how they work and how they can help you improve your drawing skills to create a consistent drawing habit―something you can take anywhere so you can gradually build confidence in your watercolor technique.
Include some handwritten notes to exercise your observation skills, something that will help you understand many of the species that we encounter.
Paulina also goes over the few materials you need to take this course. The goal is to work mainly outside so you only carry the basics with you on your trips.
