Join Belinda on this exciting

opportunity to do botanical painting. In

this course as part of the botanical

painting we will add butterflies and

insects as part of the overall scene.

Botanical illustration is a wonderful

way of portraying interesting, unusual

or just your favourite plants and

flowers. With an eye for detail, in this

workshop, you will start with a full

tonal pencil drawing, studying the light,

shade, form and texture of the

specimens.

You will then move on to watercolour

to create a beautiful painting. There

will be plenty of demonstrations and

individual attention to guide you

through your drawing and painting.

If you would like to add butterflies or

insects etc to your painting or paint

insects solely on their own she can lead

you through this too.

While some previous experience with

watercolour would be helpful it is not

essential, so beginners are most

welcome.

This is a fascinating and very addictive

art form. Beware!
