Whether you want to keep a garden journal, a travel journal, or a journal of natures events in your own neighborhood, the geometry of flower shapes is a wonderful way to see flowers as shapes rather than as a very familiar object; by removing the familiarity of an object we clear our brain of pre-conceived notions of what that object should look like on paper, allowing us a way to work with less stress and often more accurately. Join this drawing workshop and pick up a few key skills to change how you look at the beautiful wildflowers around you, including basic flower anatomy, observation skills and how to isolate the various shapes that make up an individual flower.

Bring with you a 9 x 12" or larger sketchpad (newsprint pads not recommended), drawing pencils (suggested 6B, 3B, F and 2H; but anything you are comfortable with is great), a white eraser (I recommend the General's Tri-Tip eraser or the Mars White Plastic eraser) and a kneaded eraser.

No prior drawing experience is necessary.
