Basic Botanical Structure Drawing

Drawing is the backbone of painting and a fundamental first step in the investigation of botanical form.

Flowers, along with their stems and leaves, are intricate pieces of living architecture. To paint them effectively, you need to grasp the way that they grow along with their three-dimensional presence in space.

Kathy thinks of flowers as figures with all the complexity we find in the human form.

This inspiring subject can prove quite intimidating. Kathy's workshop will give you a meditative, low-pressure way to "know" your subject before tackling it in the more complex language of oil painting.

If you have never drawn flowers before, this is the class for you! If you have experience with the subject, it will refresh your skills and give you a burst of inspiration.

Suitable for all experience levels.
