Vera will be teaching Plants in Pen & Ink at the Como Zoo & Conservatory in St. Paul, MN on September 29 – November 17, 2009 (8 weeks). Class meets on Tuesday evenings, 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM.
Pen and ink has long been a favored medium for scientific illustration because of its clarity and ease of reproduction. For the field naturalist, pen and ink is easy to carry and creates an smudge-resistant image. Explore both traditional and modern forms of pen and ink. Finesse your line, stipple, brush and scratchboard techniques to describe plant forms clearly, sensitively and accurately.
