🌿 From Exhibition to Paper: A New Botanical Tutorial Is Coming Soon (Patreon)

I recently visited a beautiful exhibition dedicated to botanical art created during Spanish scientific expeditions of the 18th century. These expeditions aimed to study and document the plant life of the Americas.

I went there with my artist friend, and of course we took lots of photo references — and I was so inspired that I’ve already started recording a new tutorial based on one of them!

The illustrations were not only important for research but also became valuable cultural and historical records. Many of these collections are now preserved in botanical archives and have even been recognized by UNESCO for their significance.

I went there with my artist friend, and of course we took lots of photo references to paint later — feel free to use these photos as inspiration for your own botanical illustrations!

It was such a lovely reminder of how closely art and nature are connected — and how watercolor, in particular, has always played a key role in capturing the beauty and detail of the natural world 🌿
