About the event
You’ll learn how to plan, compose, and execute a modern botanical drawing with intention and clarity.
Working on A3, 300g paper with colored pencils, you’ll explore how to bring a fresh, current sensibility to classic subjects—leaves, fruits, seed pods—while maintaining the botanical accuracy and precision that define the discipline. The goal is simple: elevate tradition without losing truth. Refine technique without losing soul.Basic drawing skills are helpful.
