WORKSHOPS: where art meets nature
I am delighted to share with you a series of engaging sessions, designed to inspire creatives and nature enthusiasts alike. Each workshop is a unique opportunity to explore the richness of shapes, colours and textures of seasonal flora through drawing and painting, to celebrate the wonders of nature, and to unlock the secrets of botanical artistry together.
Held in collaboration with selected institutions and gardens, these workshops promise not only skill enhancement but also a deeper connection with the natural world. Browse through the upcoming dates below and click on any event for more details and to secure your spot directly.
Botanical illustration workshop (initiation)
During this workshop we will work with fresh seasonal flowers, which grow at Humus Farm, to carry out a botanical study using mechanical pencil and gouache. Visit of the Farm and lunch are included.
Price: 55 euros
Botanical illustration workshop (1-day experience)
During this one-day workshop, we will stimulate the senses of observation, touch and sight, to delve into the secrets of botanical illustration. Through the preparatory pencil drawing and gouache finishing, we will define the plant's morphology, volumes, textures, lights and shadows, and create a complete botanical illustration, based on in-depth observation of the flower.
Price: 150 euros
Abstract Watercolour - Power of Colours
During this experimental workshop, we will learn different wet-on-wet watercolour techniques (“lifting”, “washing”, “blooming”) to create a series of small abstract paintings, exploring the meaning and symbologies of colours. By using liquid watercolours, we will let the paint flow to obtain spontaneous and unexpected effects and textures.
Price: 45 euros

Botanical Illustration at Flores Daqui
This workshop is a unique opportunity to explore the seasonal flowers, directly at the Flores Daqui farm, and to carry out a botanical study from nature.
After a walk in the garden, where you will pick your flower, we will begin with drawing in pencil to understand how to reproduce the morphology of natural forms on paper. Using gouaches, you will prepare a colour palette corresponding with your flower and apply the final touches to your illustration.
This workshop is open to all, who want to learn the basic illustration techniques and unlock the secrets of botanical art.
