Come and explore your creativity through sketching, drawing, and painting plants, with a combination of both traditional and nontraditional botanical art techniques. We will be exploring seasonal changes, while looking at what’s growing around us in our daily environment. We’ll make our own natural discoveries and connections while mixing and blending colors, painting with watercolors, and drawing with a variety of pencils. Students will bring in their own plant samples each week and there will be time for independent work. A materials list will be available upon registration.
