Description: 

Drawing & Painting: Botanical Art as Color Wheel
Instructor: Barbara Holmer
Botanical Art is an art form that combines scientific accuracy with an artistic aesthetic 
and sensitivity. Using colored pencil and/or watercolor,* students will practice mixing 
colors found on botanical subjects that are representative of the colors on the color 
wheel. The class will include discussions of basic color harmonies that can be used 
in compositions. Subjects will be provided for the first class. 
Prerequisite: Students using watercolor should have an intermediate+ level of 
experience in botanical watercolor.
