Botanical Drawing in Pencil and Watercolor
New Orleans Botanical Garden
Saturday, May 28, 2011
9 AM – 3 PM
Illustrator Val Webb will lead an intensive day of botanical drawing and watercolor at New Orleans Botanical Garden. With step-by-step guidance, students will create detailed and richly colorful renderings of springtime plant subjects using a unique combination of layered watercolor and graphite pencil. Drawing time will be divided between the Garden Study Center, a charming renovated 1930s potting shed, and the grounds of New Orleans Botanical Garden, one of the South’s most beautiful horticultural settings.
Participants can choose their subjects from the gardens’ collection of more than 2,000 varieties of plants from around the world. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of art experience. There is no supply list — all art supplies and materials (plus admission to the gardens) will be provided. Morning refreshments will be waiting when students arrive, so all that is needed for the day is a sack lunch.
As always, workshop size is limited to ensure personal attention. Val’s popular workshops often fill quickly; please feel free to call or email to check availability. Registration for Botanical Drawing in Pencil and Watercolor is $120 and must be received to reserve your spot. Please make your check payable to:
