ONLINE: Botanical Drawing & Mixed Media

This 6 week ONLINE course is designed for students who want to learn how to draw botanicals and explore the possibilities of drawing and collaging with a variety of wet and dry media including ink, water colour, pencils and pencil crayons. We will be working with leaves, flowers, branches, roots, along with images from photographs, magazines, and old books etc. Presentations and demonstrations will give you an insight into the imagery of the botanical art world.

Individual feedback will be part of each session and handouts for further exploration will be provided. In order to create a safe and fun studio atmosphere all students are expected to present online with video and sound, share images and participate in group and individual discussions and mentorship.
