Overview

Engage in a creative journey through Kyoto's Botanical Garden with an on-location watercolor workshop. Perfect for all skill levels, this workshop invites you to paint the rich, natural beauty of Kyoto's greenery. Under the guidance of professional artist Marguerite Dabaie, learn essential watercolor techniques and create your own masterpiece while exploring the garden's picturesque tranquility. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your outdoor painting skills, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to slow down and appreciate the beauty around you.

What's included

  • Travel-sized watercolor kit and sketchbook (the kit will be yours to keep)
  • Admission to the Kyoto Botanical Garden
  • Snacks
  • Coffee and/or Tea

What to expect

It's totally OK if you've never picked up a brush! We will go over basic art and watercolor techniques such as how to load your brush to control the lightness or darkness of the pigments, the color wheel, color glazing, wet-on-wet, and dry-on-wet. Techniques and tricks for painting outdoors will be discussed, and we will practice handling the brush.

Using the botanical garden as the painting subject, we will then work step-by-step on how to choose the composition, sketch, and successfully finish your painting. I will offer tips and techniques in both painting and working on location.
