Botanical Illustration

Date/Time: Sunday, September 18th from 12pm - 3pm

Class Fee: $45

This class is part science part art! Learn how art is used in science to help deepen our understanding of plant anatomy. We will draw a traditional botanical “plate” illustration from real plants provided in class. If you have your own plant that you want to bring you are welcome to do that as well, but you will need to be able to see the roots! We will cover traditional drawing techniques in ink and learn how they are applied specifically to botanical illustrations in the world of SCIENCE! I’m excited, are you excited? This is a class for ALL ability and skill levels. Beginners are welcome!
