Immerse yourself in the light and shapes of Deep Creek National Park as you develop your botanical illustration skills with an experienced local artist. Botanical Illustrator Gilbert RM Dashorst has years of experience creating detailed illustrations of the world around him and passing on his knowledge as a teacher.

Using pencils, you can choose to draw either a plant, a view of the park or an interesting object you might find, such as a rock or an old fence post. Under Gilbert’s guidance, and in the stunning surrounds of Deep Creek National Park, you will produce a piece of artwork to be proud of.

Materials will be provided at the event for you to use. This includes paper, pencils, and a drawing board. Please feel free to bring anything else you may wish to use if you would like.
