Botanical Painting & Drawing

Connect to plants on a creative level with the guidance of a professional art instructor!

Connect to plants on a creative level!

Tuesdays October 6 – November 3, from 2 – 4:30 p.m.

Participants will learn composition skills and techniques of botanical art including line, form, shading, and layering using inspiration from the natural world and the collections at Cleveland Botanical Garden.

This class welcomes all levels of experience and mediums. The first sessions will include prompts and group exercises with some independent work time. As students increase in skill, they will choose their color medium and begin to work more independently. Each session closes with an opportunity to view other student work and receive feedback.

All five class sessions are included in the registration fee. Participants will provide their own materials. For the first day of class, please bring:

  • A box of extra soft vine charcoal
  • Double-pointed French stumps (medium)
  • Kneaded eraser (small)
  • Smooth Bristol paper
  • Masking tape
