Love botanical painting? On this channel, you’ll find quick, practical tips to use in your nature journal to improve your botanical painting skills. My teaching style simplifies complex botanical subjects and watercolour techniques to help you become a more confident botanical painter—and enjoy nature journaling even more.
My name is Laura, and I am a botanical artist from Vancouver Island, Canada. My love for plants started at an early age and continues to influence my watercolour botanical art, nature journaling and teaching today. I have a diploma with distinction in Botanical Painting from the London Art College and a diploma from the U.K. Society of Botanical Artists.
My work mostly focuses on my nature journal, which documents native plants each month of the year through detailed watercolour and ink illustrations, notes, writings, and diagrams. If you would like to learn more about me and my artistic journey, you can also visit my website: www.laurawatsonart.com

My little studio garden is looking very Octoberish 🍂🎃 and Frodo has apparently decided he is part of the autumn display. 🐈⬛ I’m soaking up all these little seasonal moments as inspiration for my October Botanical Diary. Sometimes noticing the season is as simple as looking out the window. 🤎
