With Quinn Fitzpatrick at the North Cascades Basecamp
Join artist Quinn Fitzpatrick at the North Cascades Basecamp in the Methow Valley for a weekend workshop on botanical illustration. This class is geared to both artists who’d like to learn more about plants, as well as botanists who’d like to learn more about drawing them. All skill levels are
welcome and all participants will gain some knowledge of the art and field of botanical illustration. We’ll review some basic plant anatomy and drawing skills. We’ll explore the flora on the east side of the Cascades that will provide interesting examples of a variety of plants and flowers for us to draw from. We will practice quick sketching techniques, working mostly in pencil, pen and color pencil (if you have them). Participants will go home with a small finished piece.
Material list will be provided or purchase supplies on the day of the workshop. Please let us know if you want art supplies.
Cost: $280 shared room includes 2 nights, 5 meals, drawing instruction and field trips; $305 private room; $175 with no lodging and 1 dinner.
Call or email the North Cascades Basecamp to reserve your participation in the workshop (509) 996-2334; info@northcascadesbasecamp.com.
