Description

MINI-COURSE Botanical Illustration in the Orchidarium: "An Orchid Flipbook"

We continue with workshops on botanical drawing in the park's old orchidarium, aimed at all those who wish to deepen their observation, drawing, and creative interpretation of the plant world.

Each workshop guides participants through a process of technical and artistic development, combining the study of a botanical species with the creation of a final project.

In April and May, we propose the poetic and sequential exploration of the plant world through the creation of an illustrated flipbook. Starting from the observation of an orchid, we develop an animation, image by image, where the flower transforms, changes color, and moves.

This workshop will explore drawing techniques using graphite, India ink, liquid watercolors, and colored pencils.
