Drawing in Nature III introduces participants to basic painting techniques using watercolors to produce rich, vibrant botanical illustrations! Designed for enthusiasts with little to no artistic training, this foundation course builds off of the color theory and colored pencil exercises learned in Drawing in Nature II. Participants are not required to take Drawing in Nature II, but will find they produce stronger work for having done so. Each class may be held indoors or outdoors depending on weather.
