Imagine the Possibilities

The Potting Shed is a self-paced course with a full year's worth of lessons inspired by lush greenery, bounties of blossoms, and the quiet charm of well-loved garden spaces. You'll learn to create detailed illustrations of botanicals, garden benches, and intricate sheds and greenhouses using careful pencil drawing, watercolor techniques, and mixed-media exploration — bringing each garden scene to life with thoughtful composition and dimensional detail. Equipped with a trusty mechanical pencil and curated watercolor palettes, you'll work your way through six distinct collections — from houseplants and seed packets to botanical blossoms and one-point perspective structures — across 52 weekly lessons that build your skills from the ground up.

Unlock a New Skill

With a background in graphic design and fine art, I create illustrations that tell hidden stories. In this course, the skill that sets everything apart is perspective drawing — specifically learning to construct detailed garden structures like sheds, benches, and greenhouses using one-point perspective. Understanding how perspective works gives your illustrations depth, dimension, and architectural believability without the intimidation. Once you understand the structure, you can fill it with all the lush, overgrown, personality-filled details that make a garden scene feel truly alive and inhabited.

Build Your Craft

Committing to a full year's worth of lessons is like tending a garden — the more consistently you show up, the more it grows. Imagine building your skills week by week, developing creative muscle memory through repetitive drawing and painting practice at a relaxed, unhurried pace — no rush, just you and your art taking shape over time. With each collection, you'll see real progress in your drawing confidence, your eye for composition, and your ability to create garden scenes that are lush, detailed, and unmistakably yours. This course isn't just about learning — it's about cultivating something enduring in both your skills and your creative spirit, creating a depth that shorter classes simply can't match.
