Explore nature through the wonder of botanical drawing! Following a brief discussion about art and botanical drawing, we will explore the nature of paper and graphite, and how to use these for a drawing. The emphasis will be on the method John uses. Doing a botanical drawing will entail your reference, composition decision, and preparation drawing. Then you will transfer your drawing to good quality drawing paper to do your final drawing and the finishing.
