Botanical Watercolor course.
12 of April 2026 in Amsterdam
Have you always wanted to paint in watercolor? Do you love flowers and would you like to immortalize them or just have an excuse to look at them for hours? Or do you already have experience but lack a few key techniques that will take your work to the next level? Come and paint a botanical watercolor with me! The course will be 1 day from 10:00 to 18:00 o´clock at Antiek Tattoo, Rozengracht 184hs Amsterdam.
For more info like dates and price send an email to info@tattoosnancy.com
What will we do?
We’ll create a botanical watercolor painting with photos as our reference. We’ll start the day with a pencil drawing of our flower, which we’ll use as the basis for our watercolor painting. We’ll cover some basic watercolor techniques (wet-on-wet, glazing, etc.) and also a bit of theory (color theory, tonal values, etc.). Then we’ll start building layers and expressing form and color. We’ll work in a small group, and everyone will receive individual guidance. If there’s still time left, we can use some techniques for some more playful and personal touches: splatters, smudges, large brushstrokes. At the end of the day, everyone will either have a finished watercolor, or you can finish it at home using the techniques you learned. You’ll receive a reader with information about the history of botanical painting, color mixing, tonal values, form expression, pencil drawing, and how to take photos of your flower.
Who will be giving the workshop?
Nancy is a tattoo artist with almost 20 years of tattoo experience. She studied at the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen and the Barcelona Academy of Art. As an artist, she has 15 years of experience with watercolor and joined the Dutch Botanical Artists Association five years ago after winning an international watercolor award. She has been a teacher of drawing and painting at an art academy in Barcelona and is an experienced and passionate teacher.

Finally got to travelling again for the first time after COVID and did a long trip to Australia. I worked in Mazel Tough Tattoo in Darwin, Foothills Tattoo in Perth and Green Lotus Tattoo in Melbourne (where I worked in 2017). It was so fun to meet so many tattoo artists (again) and has been really inspiring. And I want to thank all the shops for their support and for inviting me into their community.

Sadly, Classic Ink and Mods has closed its door after 15 years. I am working in Antiek Tattoo now, which can be found on the Rozengracht 184 in Amsterdam. Antiek Tattoo is a beautiful, tranquil shop in the centre of Amsterdam with highly regarded artists, and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the team. See you there!
