ART CLASS 10:00–16:00 Tuesday 10 April 2018
Historically, botanical paintings were made from looking at pressed plants - this class will explore that process and work from pressed examples along with a selection of the Society's insects, herbarium sheets and shells.
This watercolour workshop will start with a special viewing of the Linnaean collections in the vault, along with an exploration of some original artwork in the beautiful library, and participants will then work on drawing the specimens in the newly built Discovery Room.
Some materials will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own painting equipment.
