Victoria Bolduc – Introduction to Botanical Art – Summer School
Venue: The Mill Arts Centre, Banbury
Timing: Mondays in August 10am – 12:30pm
Website: https://www.victoriabolduc.art/
Date: 3 August to 24 August 2026
This August summer school, led by botanical artist Victoria Bolduc, offers a gentle introduction to botanical art across four relaxed studio sessions. Designed as an introductory course, it’s ideal for anyone curious about botanical watercolour, accurate drawing, and learning how to observe nature — no prior experience needed.
Across the four 2.5-hour classes, Victoria will guide you step-by-step through observation, drawing, and painting techniques, building skills gradually and confidently. There will be plenty of time to practise, ask questions, and develop at your own pace.
All materials are provided, and the atmosphere is friendly, focused, and unpressured — a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy the mindful process of botanical painting.
