Learn to capture the beauty and variety of plant forms with pencil and paper. With a focus on close observation, we’ll explore a range of techniques for achieving more accurate drawings and delve into contour, foreshortening, and shading to create volume and depth. In addition to the presentation, there will be plenty of time for drawing and individualized feedback. A PDF handout will be provided after the workshop. 

All skill levels are welcome. The group will be limited to 12 participants. Erica will send you an invite with the Zoom link before the meeting.

• a multipurpose sketchbook or drawing paper (preferably 9 x 12 in. or larger)
