Do you want to become a botanical fine line illustrator? Would you like to create beautiful drawings with ink pens? Then join me on this relaxing and fun drawing class and learn how to use lines to boost your confidence in your art! 

Line is one of the basic elements of visual art. They are not just a path between point A and point B. They  contain an infinite universe of possibilities, that we can vary to create everything from simple and minimalistic drawings to the most complex, detailed, and realistic ones. We are here to tell stories through our art, and I will show you how lines can be the perfect tool for that - and so much fun to draw! 

In this class you will learn 3 styles of line art that will give you a foundation to develop your own unique style of line drawing. We’ll begin by learning how to sketch what we see, by studying a reference photo to understand a flower’s shapes and movements. And then we’ll jump into three different styles of drawing with ink: 

1) Minimalist Line Drawing: Where we will explore how to simplify your subject and use the fewest possible lines possible to draw a flower. 

2) Textured Line Drawing: Where we will focus on texture, using linework to create patterns that represent the textures in a your botanical reference, and then finally 

3) Realistic Line Drawing: where we will study light and how it helps us tell a story within our artwork. By using different fineline shading techniques, you will create a flower with depth, contrast and a clear focal point. 

This fun and relaxing class was designed for absolutely everyone. Whether you’re a self-taught artist who loves drawing flowers and nature, or an experienced illustrator looking to take your botanical designs to the next level, You’ll come away with a  beautiful botanical illustration and a lot more confidence in your linework that you can take with you on your creative journey. Let’s grab our pens and start drawing!
