Botanical Art #4, Pen and Ink Drawing
February 7 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Pen and Ink Botanical Drawing Class at Mobile Botanical Gardens
Mobile Botanical Gardens is offering a six-week class focused on traditional drawing techniques. Participants will create detailed drawings inspired by scenes from the Gardens.
About the Class
Instructor Derek Norman will lead this studio-based course, designed for both beginner and intermediate students, as well as those looking to refine their skills. The class will focus on classic pen and ink techniques used in botanical drawing and composition.
Students will learn to draw with both black & white and color inks, developing skills in plant perspective, value, depth, dimension, and design. The course will emphasize the use of crow quill (dip pens) and technical drawing pens on various hot and cold press papers.
In addition to hands-on exercises, students will explore historical and contemporary botanical pen and ink drawings to enhance their understanding of the craft.
