Plants offer an unending supply of interesting shapes, textures, and details for artists to discover and translate to the page. Botanists and artists alike must develop skills of seeing plants deeply.
Amy will help introduce participants to critical exploration of plant forms. An understanding of basic plant parts and floral arrangement will be discussed briefly to assure accurate representations of the selected subject specimen(s).
Once the participants choose a plant/flower to draw, they will learn how to select an interesting composition, capture the subject's proportions, create a line drawing, and complete their plant portrait with a range of values created through an exploration of different types of mark.
