Indian Miniature Painting: Botanical Flower Paintings
This course will take inspiration from the botanical paintings created by Indian artists in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. These flower paintings were produced with the miniature painting technique of applying opaque paint in a thick layer and then adding the finer detail. This is a process different to and distinct from European botanical drawings.
On this course, students will learn how to prepare paper, apply paint, and use the brush techniques of miniature painting. Looking closely at a selection of leaf forms and flower shapes, we shall create a lovely selection of small paintings.
