An Introduction to Flower and Plant Illustration

During this daylong workshop you will find out about the history of botanical illustration and the variety of different approaches and materials that can be used. Through different exercises you will experiment and learn about a variety of techniques and be inspired by the flowers and plants found around Headstone Manor.

This workshop is for beginners or those interested in knowing a bit more about this kind of illustration. You will need a love of drawing (there will be a lot of it) and an interest and curiosity about the natural world.
