Step into Botanical Art Beginners
Beginner sessions – Would you love to draw lifelike images of your favourite plants and flowers, or any natural subject matter? Take a break from your routine and enter a delightful space where art and nature intertwine. Be inspired by drawing from real life, without slavishly copying static photographic images, and uncover your inner artist. Closely observe and truly capture your subject’s unique shapes, forms, and textures, and bring your art to life on the sketchbook page.
Drawing true to life is a fundamental skill within reach of anyone wishing to learn and is greatly beneficial for those in visual or applied art practice. Join in this immersive experience led by an experienced botanical art instructor, offering friendly, relaxed guidance and uplifting encouragement to see that you can continue to enjoy drawing from nature
