Explore the beauty of flowering plants and learn traditional botanical art techniques to create realistic plant portraits. On days one and two, students work with graphite to study the variety of exciting forms, structures and textures found in live plant material. The goals are keen observation of details, accurate drawing and full tonal contrast for drawings with exciting three-dimensional form. For the remaining days, students will work in watercolor to paint a simple flower arrangement or flowering plant. Through demonstrations and lectures, learn precise brushwork techniques such as dry brush, how to quickly and accurately match colors of plant life and the correct use of values. Drawing and watercolor experience required.
