Discover the beauty of ginkgo leaves – a botanical symbol of hope, strength, and resilience – in this immersive half-day art workshop. Botanical art is a captivating blend of science and creativity, focusing on the intricate beauty of plants through detailed illustration. You'll start by learning to draw a single, graceful ginkgo leaf, then expand your design by layering additional leaves in an elegant arrangement. From there, you'll transfer your work to watercolour paper, applying shades of blue and bringing your piece to life with shimmering gold accents. No previous experience in drawing or painting is required – just come with your curiosity and creativity! All tools and materials provided upon payment of $10.00 Materials Fee to instructor at workshop.
