This workshop will introduce students to the fundamentals needed to render this beauty accurately in graphite pencil and watercolor or gouache. Through a series of simple exercises students will learn how to look closely, understand floral structure, and most importantly learn a variety of techniques created to remove the mystery of how to depict botanical subjects realistically. Additionally everyone will be encouraged to keep a 'seasonal nature journal'. All levels.
