Nigerian plants, flowers, and leaves. Watercolour on cold-pressed paper. A slower, more considered session for guests who want to make something quietly beautiful.
Watercolour asks a different kind of attention than acrylic on canvas, something quieter, working with water and pigment that moves on its own. In Watercolour Botanicals, that movement is directed toward hibiscus, ixora, bird of paradise, moringa, and the other plants and flowers of Nigeria, rendered in soft, layered tones. An Alali instructor guides the session from the first wash to the final detail. No experience needed. You leave with a finished piece on cold-pressed paper that frames well and feels considered.
