Come prepared to experiment and have fun! With a few warm-up activities and a recap of watercolour basic principles, we will dive into the botanical world to create beautiful floral paintings. The 3-hours workshop will allow time for at least two paintings, and you will take your artwork home. We hope to create a safe environment for creatives to explore new techniques and connect with the artistic community.

All materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if you want – feel free to bring any reference or photos of plants and flowers you would like to paint We have limited the spots to 12 people to make sure the facilitator can have enough one-to-one time. The workshop is designed for ppl 18+. Tickets are $70.

The workshop will be led by Nina Ramos, a children's book Illustrator based in Toronto. Originally from Northeast of Brazil, Nina is a self-taught artist with 10 years of experience in Illustration, five of those years teaching photorealistic portrait drawing, hand lettering and watercolour. Since 2020 she has been working as a children's book illustrator and has worked on five published children's books and more to come, and now she is currently a student of Illustration and Cartooning at School of Design George Brown College.

Underscore Projects' coffee shop will be running with delicious treats and coffee drinks.

Come join us! We are looking forward to having you for an inspiring afternoon and seeing the endless possibilities of creations with watercolour!
