Introduction to Botanical Illustrations with Watercolor

Join artist Fran Phaneuf—a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists—as she discusses the skills involved in creating botanical art using watercolors. During this four-hour class, practice painting flora and fauna and learn the techniques of leaf drawing, shading, and composition as you develop the skills to refine your own style. Plus, discover ways to preserve flower specimens as William Bartram did on his journey through the Carolinas and Florida.
