An Introduction To Botanical Art

With Linda Ann Vorobik
Learn the basics for creating botanical illustrations with a professional botanist, botanical illustrator, and teacher. Through demonstrations and lectures, Linda will introduce participants to drawing skills, parts of the plant, and watercolor techniques used for painting plant portraits. The first morning of the workshop begins with introductions and demonstrations followed by supervised drawing to create pencil drafts for watercolors. Later in the morning, pen & ink supplies will be discussed and techniques demonstrated. The afternoon will consist of lectures and demonstrations on watercolor supplies and techniques followed by drawing and painting time. The second morning will begin with more demonstrations followed by supervised drawing and painting. The workshop will close with a friendly critique of works produced. All skill levels are welcome. Accommodations, with optional Friday evening arrival, are included at the Environmental Education Center.
