Blueprints of Nature: Botanical Sketchbooking with Cyanoprints

Bring Your Favorite Plant and Create!

Do you love plants? Are you interested in developing a sketchbook practice? Join Botanical Artist Ana Carolina Hurant, in learning how to capture the quiet beauty of plants and flowers. In this beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll explore how to sketch botanicals & use the magic of sunlight and print-making to incorporate cyanoprinting into your sketchbooking practice.

Through guided observation and short exercises, we’ll practice drawing leaves, stems, and blossoms, focusing on shape, line and composition.

You’ll also learn how to be expressive in your sketchbook by incorporating different print-making techniques. Bring some plants that you love and learn how to sketch and print with them!

Recommended materials:

• A sketchpad (watercolor paper 140lb recommended)
• Graphite Pencils (2H, HB, 6B)
