This 4-week course (2.5 hrs/session) will introduce you to the basics of botanical drawing. You will be guided through the process of observing and drawing simple botanical specimens.

This course will suit absolute beginners or those who think they cannot draw. Even if you never draw plants again, you will learn basic observational drawing skills that you can apply elsewhere!

Class size is deliberately small to allow Tanya to work with each participant individually.

Dates: 01st Nov, 08th Nov, 15th Nov, 22nd or 29th Nov 2025. Tanya will confirm the date for the last session soon. Apple Blossom Farm might be holding an Open Garden on one of the Saturdays in November.

Venue: Apple Blossom Farm is an inspiring location for botanical classes. This amazing garden was featured in Gardening Australia Magazine April 2023 edition. We will have access to the garden during our classes and will be able to examine and draw plants on site.
