September 21 Botanical Art Class with Linda Miller September 20-23, 2010 Spend an enjoyable two or three days with artist Linda Miller, using your artistic skills to illustrate and create a Botanical Portrait working from your selection of flora from The Elizabethan Garden’s greenhouses and grounds. The first day will include an introduction to plant anatomy by The Garden's educator, Shannon Brooks, as it relates to botanical painting. The students will then "discover" their wonderful specimen, leaf by leaf - petal by petal, and create a line drawing to paint from. Each student will work at their own pace while the instructor "visits" with each student individually. Linda will also show the necessary techniques from drawing to adding the final details throughout course. You will also receive constructive suggestions and encouragement along the way from the instructor and interact with other talented artists to make the studio a very creative and supportive environment. Please contact Shannon at The Elizabethan Gardens to register. Phone: 252-473-1554 Email: sbrooks@elizabethangardens.org Two days: Course $75.00 per student With optional third day: Course $115 per student (minimum of five students required) Media: Watercolor, Graphite, and Colored Pencil media is welcomed. Student Level: All levels, also please note - if a student would prefer to work from a drawing rather than a specimen, please contact the instructor and Linda will be happy to provide a drawing so you may focus on watercolor technique.
