Settle in to a class of nature appreciation while learning introductory botanical drawing and painting skills.

You'll be drawing then painting your botanical pieces onto raw wood, to create nature on nature decorations to be hung wherever you choose - on a window latch, a rear view mirror, or behind your computer monitor where you likely need a dose of nature the most!

Whether you're a total beginner or haven't picked up the paints in a long while, this class is a gentle step back into painting.

All of Caro's classes are fun introductions to botanical painting, while reminding you to notice your surroundings and the beauty of everyday nature.
