Description

Taking inspiration from the gardens at Dillington, on this studio based course we will learn about the precise and detailed art of botanical illustration. No experience of art or botany is required just commitment.

We aim to enjoy working in an atmosphere of relaxed industry. Students will work at their own pace on the subject of their choice.

The course will cover the use of basic materials and methods for beginners, and will offer professional advice to advanced students. The emphasis will be on individual development.

All comers welcome.

Residential Fees From: £608.   Non Residential: £428

Course runs from Lunch on Monday to Lunch on Thursday.
