How to Draw Plants

Improve your drawing skills for journaling, teaching, or pure enjoyment. Drawing directly from nature is about observing plants to identify shapes, spaces between shapes, edges and scale. Learn how to create the illusion of depth, and make observational drawings looking at plants from different aspects. Study will be inside the classroom, and outside in the Garden.

**This class has three sessions: April 20, 27 & May 4**
