Watercolor pencils are a great tool for quickly creating dynamic scenes that are bursting with movement and energy, perfect for capturing the buzzing of bees or pulsing of hummingbird wings. In this relaxed, beginner-friendly Zoom class, nature illustrator Rosalie Haizlett will guide students through a complete watercolor pencil painting of a native plant and its insect or bird pollinator. First, Rosalie will show the process of creating pencil outlines from a reference photo. Then she'll share her favorite tricks for building up layers and textures to create a vibrant piece. For all the art supply enthusiasts in the audience, she'll also showcase a few spinoffs of the watercolor pencil, like ink pencils and water-soluble wax pastels. This class is perfect for beginner to intermediate level students or avid art-makers who are new to watercolor pencils. Botanical Art and Illustration Certificate elective

- Phipps reserves the right to substitute instructors when necessary.
- Receiving Class Credit: For both core and elective classes, students must attend all class sessions and complete and submit all the work required to earn class credit. Class credit is important if a student is pursuing the Basic or Advanced Botanical Art and Illustration certificate. Even if a student is not sure about pursuing the certificate, it is recommended that they earn credit for each class because this is difficult to do retroactively. If a student has to miss class (e.g. health reasons or a death in the family), they must contact the instructor at their earliest convenience to see if it’s possible to still earn class credit.
- A note on recordings: The class recordings posted on Google Classroom are meant to aid students in completing their work between classes but are not a substitute for attending class. Students are required to attend all classes and are not allowed to miss class and watch the recordings for credit.
