The tradition of botanical watercolors is based on the accurate depiction of plant life. The focus will be on florals and other plants. Drawing and painting will be considered equally, and we will be working in a more naturalistic style. The goal is for you develop into the best watercolor painter you can be. Gentle constructive criticism will help you grow as an artist and art viewer. Every session the instructor will provide a subject/photo.

This is not a beginner level class. Please contact the instructor if you have questions.

Kristin's Classes

I've spent the majority of my life in the Atlanta Metro area. One of my earliest memories is seeing the King Tutankhamun exhibit when it toured the U.S. back in the eighties. I have enjoyed art all of my life, and I love traveling to paint and see the works of other artists. Right now, my goal is to paint at McMurdo research station in Antarctica.

I graduated from Georgia College & State University with an undergraduate degree in art in 2003 and a master's degree in secondary education in 2008. Now I'm combining my two loves, teaching and art, by becoming an instructor at Spruill in 2022.

I'm a colorist, and I'm primarily interested in vibrancy of hue and texture. I work in a number of different mediums including: watercolor, acrylic, alcohol markers, oils, pastels, and more. I like to explore and mix mediums as well. My favorite subjects are birds and flowers. My favorite artist is Eugene Delacroix, a 19th century French romanticist painter.

Fun fact about me: I studied watercolors in Paris, France during university.
