INTRODUCTION TO BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION

ONLINE

4 Tuesdays, 11/8/2022 through 11/29/2022

10 am to 1 pm

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!

Learn to use graphite pencil in a variety of ways to achieve realism.  Demonstrations and simple exercises emphasize key principles and drawing methods.

We will closely examine plant parts individually - stems, leaves and blossoms – to better understand their structure and surface details - and then bring them all together for a complete drawing.

Participants are responsible for purchasing their own materials. A materials list and Zoom link will be provided.
