    Botanical watercolor is both an artistic and scientific technique, where plants, or parts of plants, are reproduced in their natural size and with all the details that make them easily identifiable: it is basically a portrait.

    The plant must be reproduced “from life”: it will never be a “copy”, but rather a composition linked to the taste of the artist. In fact, between the vital times of the plants and the amount of worked required by the painter there is a great disparity: a flower portrait may take up to a month, while the flower itself might last a single day, so it is necessary to have abundant material available over time.

    Creating a botanical table requires a slow and carefully thought-out technique. It should have great charm to which the painter will have to add technical prowess and sensitivity, this will transform a sheet of paper, some water and pigments into a piece of art capable of inducing reflections on beauty to those who observe it, amazed by an always perfect nature.

  • Botanical watercolor workshop – the magic of citrus

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

    THE GEOMETRIES OF NATURE – THE MAGIC OF CITRUS

    Curated by Simonetta Occhipinti

    From Friday 24 to Sunday 26 January 2020

    From 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 5pm

    Citrus fruits have always attracted great interest in all eras for their unusual shapes, bright and warm colors and the magnificent scent of their flowers. From a pictorial point of view, their porous, glossy or patinated peel, often wrinkled, was and still is of great charm and at the same time it was a challenge for painters to work with, botanists and non-botanists.

    Botanical watercolor certainly makes for the best result, as it allows the best of both worlds: the color’s brilliance and its solid consistency as well as its forms’ transparency.

    During the course we will initially work on the pencil drawing aimed at in-depth observation of the morphological characteristics of the chosen subject and on its best artistic composition, trying to obtain an image as real and three-dimensional as possible.
