Botanical Art with Colored Pencils: Drawing A Vintage Rose with Nancy Lyons

Step into the world of botanical art and learn how traditional botanical plates were created—then try the process yourself. In this 3‑hour workshop, Nancy will introduce you to the foundations of botanical drawing, starting with the simple geometric shapes that form the basis of all natural forms.
