workshop info

how to draw plants

Picture
Come learn with Nancy Seiler, who is a GOLDEN Working Artist and the presenter for our January 2020 GOLDEN Lecture & Demo!

Would you like to feel confident when drawing plants? Nancy will teach you the steps to drawing petals and leaves through skeletal structure, fleshing in, correcting your illustration through a layering process.

You'll learn tips and tricks such as how to draw a curling leaf or petal, symmetry, and more. We'll work in graphite pencil during this three-hour class. You leave with the fundamentals of plant drawing approaches which can be applied to your fine art or nature journal.

Nancy is a certified classical botanical illustrator and has been teaching these techniques since 2003.

Attendees will also receive free QoR watercolor samples!
No experience necessary. Some materials provided. The skills learned in this workshop can be applied to painting classes.
