Botanical Illustration @ Ox Bow

Led by a natural science illustrator, this botanical drawing workshop will teach students to use colored pencil to render lively and vibrant plant life. There will be a demonstration on how to freehand the composition, establish texture, and layer blended colors, followed by time to practice these methods with personal guidance. Reference images will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you’ve already found inspiration. This will be a space for nature lovers and illustration enthusiasts alike!

Plan to bring: smooth Strathmore Bristol paper (9 by 12 inches), Prismacolor Premier pencils, graphite or mechanical pencil for sketching, and erasers (kneaded, block, narrow, etc.).
