Drawing Tulips: A Study of Form, Light, and Observational Wonder

NEW DESCRIPTION! Celebrate spring by drawing tulips from life in a relaxed, experimental workshop. Using simple warm-ups, sketches, and line, students will study tulip structure and proportion while building stronger observation skills and confidence in translating observation into marks on paper. Students will also explore how light, shadow, and tonal drawing shape the tulip’s form. Along the way, we’ll look at historical and contemporary artists whose tulip studies blend art, science, and culture. Through guided demonstrations, shared discussion, and dedicated drawing time, participants will refine their visual art skills, experiment, and engage with the creative process while connecting with fellow lovers of art and nature. Open to anyone comfortable with drawing who wants to refine their skills, including nature journalers. Materials are included, though participants are welcome to bring their own preferred drawing media for the final study. Fees: Member $289, Non-Member $343 All programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required.
