Learn the basics of botanical watercolors from professional botanist, botanical illustrator and teacher, Dr. Linda Ann Vorobik. Linda, through demonstrations and lectures, introduces participants to drawing skills, parts of the plant, what botanical illustration is when defined precisely, and watercolor techniques as used for painting plants. The first morning of the workshop begins with a lecture and demonstration followed by supervised drawing to create pencil drafts; the afternoon consists of lecture/demonstrations of watercolor supplies and techniques followed by painting time. The second morning will begin with more watercolor demonstrations followed by supervised painting. The workshop closes on Sunday by finishing watercolors, followed by a a friendly critique of paintings produced. All skill levels are welcome: accomplished artists can learn added botany skills and skilled botanists will learn painting techniques. A list of materials and supplies to bring to class will be sent with your confirmation letter.
