Botanical Drawing and Painting Workshops with Marcy Ellis

come spend a few creative hours with me in my cozy art studio, nestled in the serene desert landscape of northwest tucson. my botanical watercolor and ink workshops are a chance to slow down, and reconnect with your creative side. we draw and paint the florals, and desert botanicals that fill my own artwork, all in a relaxed and supportive space.

"Marcy has a way of making watercolor feel approachable, even if you've never picked up a brush before. it felt less like a class and more like a creative reset — i left feeling inspired, grounded, and a little more connected to my own creativity." — Teryn, botanical workshop student
