Subjects include: an introduction to necessary supplies, drawing and painting techniques, composition, choosing and mixing colors, creating colors, and more. This is an opportunity to learn the techniques required to capture flowers and other natural objects on paper in a series of straightforward steps. Supplies will be provided for beginners.
