This class is a beginner to intermediate drawing class and will focus on observational drawing. You will focus on drawing a chosen seedpod, using graphite pencils to achieve a realistic rendering of your selected fruit subject. You will learn about photographing your subject and shapes, tone, and texture. 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 ongoing beginners and people wanting to revisit their drawing skills. If you are new to graphite, look at booking into Joanna’s beginner class, Drawing Leaves in Graphite.
During the session, you will learn:
  • To draw using a graphite pencil to achieve different tones and textures
  • How to hold a pencil 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 fruit
By the end of this class, you will have started a detailed drawing and will take your piece of fruit and drawing home to continue. This workshop will take place in an upstairs workshop space, which is accessible via a staircase with a landing. If you have any accessibility concerns, please message us, and we will endeavour to book a downstairs space instead.

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.
