Overview
This course will focus on contextual awareness of the genre of Plant Portraits and giving students techniques to understand how they were produced.
Programme
The course is taught through a series of video demonstrations, downloadable handouts and PowerPoint presentations all accessed through blackboard across 5 units:
Unit 1: Tonal Studies: Monchromatic Drawing and Painting Techniques

In addition to this we will have 3 face to face teaching sessions, where we will make the most of the inspirational flora found on surrounding grounds and woodlands for on location drawing and painting, weather permitting.
