Birth Month Botanicals

Friday May 3rd
6:30-8:30pm
at Piante in Winter Park

Did you know there are 2 “birth flowers” for each month- like birth stones?!

Explore the beauty and symbolism of birth flowers blooming in May and June! From Hawthorn and Lily of the Valley to Roses and Honeysuckle, these enchanting spring botanicals evoke the spirit of the season. I’ll guide you step by step as we study skills and techniques unique to floral watercolor.

Whether you’re aiming to hone your painting skills, or looking for a creative way to celebrate these special months, this class offers the perfect opportunity to explore the beauty of nature through art.

No experience required- all skill levels welcome. High-quality supplies are provided so you can relax and focus on painting.


Water Lilies in Watercolor

Wednesday May 8th
10am-12pm
at Leu Gardens in Orlando

Dip your brush into the beautiful world of Monet’s water lilies. The vibrant colors and impressionistic brushstrokes of Monet’s iconic masterpieces will be the diving board for splashing into our own watercolor paintings!

Whether you're seeking to refine your skills or simply looking for a peaceful morning escape, this class offers the perfect opportunity to explore the beauty of nature through art. Experienced artists and beginners alike will be inspired in this encouraging class!

No experience required- all skill levels welcome. High-quality supplies are provided so you can relax and focus on painting.


Natalie’s workshops were fun, informative, and empowering for a novice like me, and I came away with two pieces of art that I am proud to display in my home. Perfect for a ladies night or a date, and I look forward to the next one!

Natalie Brooks is a wonderful teacher! I have taken other watercolor classes, but I learned more in one class with Natalie than I did in an entire series of classes with another teacher. Natalie has a gift for putting students at ease and for inspiring them to take risks and grow. She is patient, supportive, and encouraging. If you are hesitant about trying something new, but really want to learn how to paint, Natalie is the teacher for you. She is a warm, friendly person who shares her expertise with grace and humor. I can’t wait for my next class with her.
