This course is designed for students who want to learn how to visualize botanicals through drawing, painting with watercolor, collaging and stencil art, mono printing and flower pressing. We will be using a variety of dry and wet media, including ink, water colour, pencils and pencil crayons. Furthermore, you will also be introduced to mono printing using gelli plates which offer exciting possibilities for exploration including wax resist, image transfer, botanical prints with fresh and dried leaves, flowers, grasses, roots and more. Through presentations, demonstrations, group and individual mentorship this class offers an insight into Botanical Art, various media and techniques as well as combining these for further exploration.
