Capture the sunny and vivid beauty of summer botanicals on paper in this immersive drawing workshop for beginners to avid art hobbyists.
Learn how to render vibrant summer botanicals using Prismacolor pencils, celebrating the subtle textures, forms, and pigments unique to summer’s palette. Start with a brief introduction into the history of botanical illustration, foundational drawing techniques, and study of summertime botanicals. Then, learn how to observe and draw nature’s intricate details—from a plant’s petals, leaves, stems, and more. You’ll leave with a completed series of sketch studies and the makings of a final botanical piece for you to take home and complete using the skills gained in this class.
