Black and white drawings have an aesthetic beauty all their own, and were long used for illustrations before color printing.  Under the guidance of Jeanne Kunze, use traditional dip and technical pens to create weighted, broken, hatch, and crosshatch line work as well as stipple to illustrate live orchids.  As many scientific illustrations are done from pressed field-collected material, Jeanne will also show you how to use dried specimens for illustration, including methods of making these samples look fresh and alive.  Dissecting microscopes and other magnification devices will aid you in accomplishing an informative, precise, and aesthetically pleasing illustration.  There are some prerequisites for this Wellesley College Friends of Horticulture course, to take place at Wellesley on four Fridays, April 1 – 29, so email horticulture@wellesley.edu, or call 781-283-3094, ext. 4, for complete details.  WCFH member price is $250, non-members $300.
