2 day workshop - Introduction to botanical art

During this two day intensive workshop for beginners, students will be guided step-by-step through the basics needed to understand and enjoy the fascinating world of botanical art. Participants will learn how to observe light and to be aware of tone in drawings, to sketch and compose and to understand the methods for mixing watercolours. The aim will be to draw a live plant specimen in order to apply the techniques necessary to render a fine painting. All will leave with a finished painting and have the tools and techniques to continue with botanical art as an enjoyable hobby.
