Botanical Drawing - Give It a Go

Would you like to draw plants accurately but aren’t sure how to go about it?

This workshop will introduce you to botanical drawing. You will be guided through the process of observing plant parts, learning to draw them accurately and labelling them using basic botanical terms. You will get an idea of what is involved in botanical drawing and see if you’d like to pursue this style further.

No prior drawing or botanical experience needed. Tanya will assume you are completely new to drawing and to botany!

Materials will be supplied, but participants are encouraged to bring their own where possible.

Reminder: Bring your reading glasses if you need to use them!
