A Guide to Botany: Online Botanical Painting Session
Our Guide to Botany class is back online! Join us for this unique lecture and Botanical Painting session (课)!
This lecture and all our classes are now “pay what you can”. We suggest a donation of £8 but if you are having a tough time with money, even £5 is still amazing, or please feel free to consider this one on the house.
Drawing from both the rich history of female Botanical Art, as well as the inspiring stories of women botanical explorers, this class will be a great opportunity to immerse (沉浸) yourself in the work of artists such as Maria Sybilla Merian, Marianne North, Rachel Ruysch and others!
The session will include a short lecture during which you will be able to make quick sketches (素描) if you choose from your own collections of plants, leaves and flowers, and then students will be guided through some basic watercolour techniques and exercises.
Materials:
You will need a variety of plants, flowers, leaves or dried flowers to work from! You don't need too many, just enough to make an interesting arrangement, but if you're really caught short, just one or two houseplants will be fine.
Watercolours
A variety of brushes, from mop-headed to thin detail brushes
Watercolour paper
