Rebecca and Sandy - Art
A full listing of upcoming workshops can be found here: Discovery Workshops.
Rebecca and Sandy were amongst the last Royal College of Art graduates to study Natural History Illustration under the late Prof. John Norris Wood.
They are both passionate conservationists and work in their own artistic fields of birds and rainforest flower species.
They believe in sharing with their students this love of the natural world through drawing and painting.
We hope to imbue our participants with a fresh view of nature while drawing on the history of past artists whose work is held within The Linnean Society's collection and sharing with them the techniques with which to represent it.
