Readers looking for classes in the Chicago region have three opportunities to learn botanical art and colored pencil techniques this summer.
Kathleen Garness will teach three sessions of an introductory course about drawing plants in colored pencil. Participants will receive materials to take home with them, compliments of the Anne Ophelia Dowden grant awarded to Kathleen last Fall by the American Society of Botanical Artists.
