Virtual Members-Only Education Class | Introduction to Botanical Art and Illustration
Join us for a member exclusive education program to practice your drawing skills!
Botanical artists draw their subjects with scientific accuracy and artistry, allowing both artist and viewer to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world. In this program, students will learn more about the method and history of botanical art, and begin practicing the drawing skills essential to this artistic discipline. No experience necessary! If you'd like to join Robin in a quick drawing exercise, please bring an unlined piece of paper and a pencil. This class can be taken as a demo or a draw along.
This virtual event is free for members to attend but R.S.V.P. is required.
