This 8-week course is offered to learn the fundamentals of contemporary botanical art in drawing and painting. It is an exacting and extremely rewarding form of art. The first three to four weeks instruction will be developing drawing skills and the last four or five in painting. The main focus will be on wild flora, fruit, fungi and more. No special skill is needed, except a fairly steady hand.
