About the course
Often overlooked, there are many beautiful wildflowers, mostly passed by on a daily basis. This course will give botanical artists the opportunity to take a closer look at the complexities of these little plants and illustrate several in a mixed study, using coloured pencils to complete them. Corncockle, campion, buttercups, wild garlic – the list is endless. Group demonstrations and individual tuition will be given throughout.
Suitable for those wishing to improve their technique
