This class is a beginner to intermediate drawing class and will focus on observational drawing. You will focus on drawing a chosen flower, using graphite pencils and a paper stump to achieve a realistic rendering of your selected botanical subject. You will learn about photographing your subject, composition, shapes, tone, and textures.
Your teacher, Joanna, will guide you through the process she uses to produce her detailed graphite botanical artworks in a friendly and supportive environment that is suitable for beginners, ongoing beginners, and people wanting to revisit their drawing skills.
During the session, you will learn:
  • To draw using a graphite pencil to achieve different tones and textures
  • How to use a paper stump to achieve different mark-making techniques
  • How to photograph your subject and edit it to black and white
  • To apply this knowledge and draw your own detailed flower
By the end of this class, you will have started a detailed drawing and will take your flower and drawing home to continue.
You will also be able to purchase a basic starter pack after the class if you wish to continue with your drawing skills.

Hi, I am Joanna and I have been a botanical artist, business owner and teacher based in Brisbane North. I have been focused on Botanical Art since 2017, when I started as a hobby and it quickly grew into a business. Before that I was a high school art, science and horticulture teacher.
I am a social person and love meeting new people and helping them with their art journey, in a relaxed and fun way.
I hope that I can teach you to make something beautiful, that you are proud of.
