Botanical Painting- Painting Lilies with Gouache with Nancy Lyons

Discover the beauty and versatility of gouache in this summer botanical painting workshop with Nancy Lyons. Gouache is an opaque, water‑based medium known for its rich color, velvety finish, and ability to create both delicate details and bold, expressive shapes.

Nancy will guide you through a step‑by‑step demonstration, showing how to build form, layer color, and create luminous petals and leaves.
