Spending a weekend learning about and sketching plants is great way to learn the basics of their form and how to best draw them. Gardeners, botanists, artists, & field journalists can all benefit from this fun weekend.
Every good botanical watercolor or botanical illustration begins with accurate pencil sketches, and the more you understands the form of plants, the better your drawings and paintings of them will be. Here you will learn about the various parts of plants, and variety of parts, and how to draw them. I will bring in material which shows many different kinds of leaves, stems, flowers and fruits.
