Botanical Illustration Intensive: Gorgeous Gourds in Colored Pencil

About this event

Nothing says “October” like ornamental gourds. Striped, curved, bumpy, and beautifully colored, these small “sculptures” make great botanical art subjects. In this one-day “intensive”, you will study gourd characteristics, texture, and patterns to put together an interesting composition. Use texture techniques and color maps to create your composition – from underpainting to layers of colored pencil to finishing details. Application of watercolor washes, baby oil, or alcohol blenders are optional. Fees: Member $66, Non-Member $83 All programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required.
