It is a natural progression to move from admiring plants to wanting to express their beauty in art.  This introductory class teaches you how to create a realistic botanical drawing using simple plants from around our homes or local markets.  No prior drawing experience required!

The instructor shares her entire approach to composing an idea from start to finish.  Demonstrations and simple exercises emphasize key principles and drawing methods.  Learn to use graphite pencil in a variety of ways to achieve accuracy.

We will closely examine plant parts individually - stems, leaves and blossoms – to better understand their structure and surface details, and then make an herbarium sheet as a reference for drawing.
