Steps Through Botanical Art
In 2020 we will be creating a new eight month course, in place of our one-year course, which will run from spring through to autumn. The new course aims to capture the full span of the flowering season.
Join botanical art tutors from the BSBA to explore the traditional techniques of botanical drawing and painting.
Botanical illustration is all about looking at plants from a scientific and artistic perspective and combining the two disciplines. This course will guide you through a step by step programme of subjects throughout the seasons to develop your skills and confidence in this fascinating subject.
What will I be doing?
- Observation and accurate line drawing
- Tonal shading to make your subject appear three-dimensional
- Watercolour techniques and colour mixing
- Modern and traditional ways of arranging your subject on the page
- Learn about other drawing mediums used in botanical art
