Description

Drawing & Painting: Botanical Art Studio

Instructor: Barbara Holmer

Summer is a great time to meet with other botanical art enthusiasts and finish the incomplete projects that are staring you down in your studio! Whether you need help with a technique, have a compositional question, or want encouragement to just keep going, a relaxed atmosphere and individual instruction will help you see it through. Students are welcome to begin new projects, too! Bring your projects, subject matter, and graphite, colored pencil, or watercolor supplies.
