How to Draw Plants

Live workshop in celebration of International Nature Journaling Week with a few tips and tricks to help you draw plants. In this workshop we use a handout which you can download here: https://johnmuirlaws.com/wp-content/u... I have a bunch of fun strategies to help you draw flowers, branches, leaves, curling petals, and other crazy plant stuff. This class will be useful for everyone. If you are a teacher, you will learn a lot of tricks you can incorporate into your lessons (everything I do is open source). This is going to be fun so gather your materials, journal and pencil, and come along. What to Bring Playful curiosity and sense of humor Piece of white paper Scissors Journal and pencil A curling leaf A palmately veined leaf (like a maple) A lobed leaf (like a white or black oak) A permanent black marking pen (like a sharpie)..If you also have a red and blue sharpie (or two other colors) bring it along too. A piece of clear or translucent plastic (like a heavy-duty zip-lock bag or the cover of a plastic folder for a school report) A printout of the plant drawing worksheet (if you cannot print it out, view it online, and carefully copy what you see onto a piece of paper before class).
