In this course, students will learn a step-by-step methodology to develop their work. Good foundational skills are offered. Each week students will study a new local native plant and complete a sketch. This course brings art to science while inviting students to have fun developing fine art skills. Topics include the art of seeing / drawing, laying out accurate plant structure, watercolor pencil and gouache tips, the art of taking field notes and researching general ethnobotany, creating dimension and depth, and dry brush painting with layering. A material list will be provided. All levels welcome!
