Contribute to the Florilegium at the LA Arboretum

January 7, 2014 by Tania Marien

Students in Cristina Baltayian’s botanical art classes at the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden have the opportunity to study the Arboretum’s plants and contribute to the Arboretum’s florilegium. Learn more about Cristina’s classes below.


Botanical Art & Illustration with Cristina Baltayian

Students will explore color pencil, graphite, pen and ink, and watercolor on various papers, vellum and other surfaces. The emphasis will be on plant observation, drawing, composition, color theory and matching, and medium techniques. In conjunction with the Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California, students will study and portray many of the Arboretum plant introductions from the last 50 years. The goal is to build a collection of paintings that will celebrate and document the invaluable contribution of the Los Angeles Arboretum to the state of California. All levels of experience are welcome. Students will receive a supply list. Registrants may bring a lunch or buy lunch at the Peacock Cafe.
