Guided by award-winning botanical artist Janie Pirie, you will develop a well-balanced composition using a variety of summer flowering plants, fruits, grasses and shrubs to highlight the diverse textures and colours of the season. You will select 3-5 stems to work with, and through a combination of demonstrations and one-to-one support you will learn and apply a range of techniques to reproduce the delicate natural tones and forms with accuracy and skill, paying close attention to the shapes, colours, scale and proportions of your chosen specimens. This is the first of two courses running back-to-back.
