Claire Broughton is Kings Seeds Botanical Artist for December

Claire has always loved playing with colour, for as long as she can remember she always had colouring books and pencils to play with.

Claire admired watercolours and was always fascinated with the subtle and washy effects, but it was only at age 40 that she finally picked up a brush and started to dabble with watercolour herself. After trying a watercolour sketch of some pansies in her garden, Claire’s fascination with watercolour began.

Mother nature is her inspiration from which she will never tire and although botanicals are her specialty Claire also loves to paint animals, birds and babies.

You can see more of Claire’s work here.

A print of Claire’s gorgeous watercolour of gum leaves will be won by a lucky customer in the Kings Seeds giveaway at the end of January.
