UC Berkeley Botanical Art Workshop
Saturday & Sunday, March 16th & 17th. An Introduction to Botanical Illustration, UC Berkeley, Valley Life Sciences Building. Learn the basics for creating botanical illustrations through demonstrations and lectures. Participants will be introduced to drawing skills, parts of the plant, what botanical illustration is when defined precisely, and techniques used for creating accurate line drawings. The workshop is directed to two audiences: (1) botanists who want to improve their observational and artistic note-taking skills or to learn how to work with artists as contributors to their publications and, (2) beginning through advanced artists who wish to create scientific illustrations for publications or to simply enjoy observing the details and beauty of plants. Register through UC Berkeley Jepson Workshops for 2024. |

I will host an Introduction
to Botanical Illustration workshop on Lopez
Island, WA, or will host any botanical art or botany workshops at a location of your choice, if I have enough interest. For more information, email me at vorobik@gmail.com.
I have posted information
for commissioned botanical illustrations.
This would be of interest to botanists wishing to commission illustrations
and to other illustrators interested in my fees or business procedure.
For teachers: I have posted
a PDF for teachers to use, illustrating different types of inflorescences,
or flowering stalks. And for those learning about botanical art,
I have posted a botanical
art annotated bibliography (first draft).
Happy exploring the wonderful
world of plants & revelling in nature through art!
