4A64 *NEW* Drawing Spring Bulbs and Flowers
-Adult- | Available
Botanical art is founded in realism – for success in this art form, frequent drawing practice is necessary. This session focuses on drawing skill development as you learn how to create a pleasing study of a spring bulb flower – from roots and bulb to leaves and flower. Newcomers to botanical art are welcome, however you must be fully comfortable with the accurate drawing of an actual plant specimen. Participants will be responsible for bringing their own botanical specimens. A list of suitable botanical subjects will be emailed prior to the workshop.
Members: $82.69 + HST, Non-Members: $85 + HST. Sunday.
