Wednesday, March 9, 9:30 am – 11:30 am – Drawing Plants & Flowers, Online

Explore the beauty and variety of plant forms with pencil and paper on March 9 from 9:30 – 11:30 am. Taught by a scientific illustrator, the emphasis in this online Harvard Museum of Natural History workshop will be on close observation and realistic representation. We will explore a range of techniques for achieving more accurate drawings and will delve into contour, gesture, foreshortening, and shading to create volume and depth. Groups will be limited to twelve, allowing ample time for individual feedback. All skill levels are welcome.

HMNH Members $30/Nonmembers $35.

Advance registration required.

Class will be held over Zoom. To join the program, you will need to download the free Zoom app in advance. If you already have Zoom, you do not need to download it again. For details on how to improve your Zoom experience, visit the How to Attend an HMSC Program webpage.
