Service Description
** This course is for people working in or studying horticulture/design only** Being able to do a quick sketch to illustrate an idea is very useful when with clients. And observing plants and their characters through sketching can help you when choosing plants and assessing a planting scheme. In this course, we will focus on tricks and techniques for sketching plants. We will look at how to find shapes that make drawing plants easier, how to capture the character of plants and we will touch on atmospheric perspective to create depth to your sketches. Sketching regularly, even if only for a short time, will quickly improve your skills and give you a keener eye when choosing plants. You will be encouraged to loosen up your line, train your observational skills and enjoy the process of sketching rather than producing a masterpiece at each session. The aim is to give you the confidence to practise. There will be practical, quick exercises that you can repeat at home when you have a spare few minutes to improve your skills. Target audience: Anyone working in horticulture. The course is aimed at beginners to intermediates - and anyone who would like to loosen up their line or is feeling a bit rusty and hasn’t practised quick sketching techniques for a while
