My first course in botanical drawing took place in public gardens, as we sat next to flowers and created botanical journals... (Or at least attempted to!)
My current class - in drawing and painting "winter textures" has brought a new drawing milieu: an indoor screen and a spotlight!
The light - and the magnifying glass - help us view our samples more clearly... I'm not sure what the screen is there for - perhaps to prevent our light from bothering others!
Last week we focused on seed pods of different textures. I was fascinated by this coffee tree pod, its smooth surface a sharp contrast with the rough pine cone I found on the side of the road!
Sitting outside in the sun was a lot of fun - but these cold, cold days of winter, it's better to be indoors!
