This introductory course to Botanical Illustration offers you the opportunity to try out some of the many techniques which are used in this fascinating and absorbing artform. The study of plants can be both therapeutic and relaxing as it can be challenging. Its skill base is many and varied, ranging from observational drawing practices, colour mixing using a limited primary palette, various watercolour techniques including the elusive wet-into-wet washes, botanical style through to the cornerstone of botanical illustration - tonal gradation and finishing for life-like 3D plant paintings. Study the stages of painting which go to make up examples of plant portrayals in detail.
This course is for beginners and improvers as it can be extremely advantageous for those with little or no experience to work alongside painters with some expertise. The sharing of skills and knowledge is greatly encouraged and can be beneficial to all concerned.
