| AN APPROACH TO BOTANICAL PAINTING |
| Anne-Marie Evans |
| Course Description |
| This short structured 5-day course on botanical painting concentrates on those procedures used in that art form. It deals initially with the observation of the specimen, extracting relevant notes, sketches and diagrams. It is followed by an accurate rendering of the plant in pencil on paper describing those features which best characterize it. Composition and the placing of the specimen within the page is given consideration. Students will then apply watercolor to their drawing following Anne-Marie's five step method. Anne-Marie believes that any person, however ungifted, can achieve a competent standard provided they are prepared to work. |
