Botanical Art & Illustration Workshop - Learn to Draw and Paint New Zealand and Exotic Flora

Celebrate the beauty of plants through the timeless art of botanical illustration in this inspiring full-day workshop, held in the Dunedin Botanic Garden's Propagation Facility as part of the Ōtepoti Garden Festival.

Working from carefully selected New Zealand native and exotic plant specimens, you'll learn techniques for accurate drawing, colour mixing and painting while developing confidence in your own artistic style.

Led by a practising artist and award-winning teacher, this friendly and supportive workshop welcomes everyone, from complete beginners to experienced artists wishing to refine their skills.

All art materials are provided. You'll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration and your own botanical artwork to take home.
