Take your illustration skills to the next step.

After completing our Introduction to Nature Illustration course, you may be looking for an opportunity to apply your skills to drawing more natural subjects.

This class is designed for beginner and intermediate students who have completed the Introduction to Nature Illustration course. It offers a deeper exploration into the world of nature illustration, focusing on the intricate details of plants, birds, lichens, insects, fungi, and more. Students will work with graphite, pen, and coloured pencil to capture these natural forms.

Through structured activities and demonstrations, we will guide you step by step in developing your skills. You’ll have the chance to build your technique further, culminating in a fine art project using coloured pencils. Each lesson will provide ample time for practice, allowing you to refine the methods introduced and receive feedback from your tutor.
