Winter Botanical Illustration with Olivia Mendoza

Ox-Bow's iconic Art on the Meadow workshops take their turn at our Douglas gallery!

Led by a natural science illustrator, this workshop invites students to explore the quiet beauty of winter flora through the art of botanical drawing. Using colored pencils, participants will learn to capture the subtle hues, textures, and forms including and inspired by evergreens, seed pods, and winter blooms. A demonstration will cover how to freehand compositions, build texture, and layer blended colors to bring each subject to life, followed by guided practice time with individual feedback. This will be a cozy, contemplative space for nature lovers and illustration enthusiasts alike to celebrate the resilience and elegance of plant life in winter. Plan to bring: Smooth Strathmore Bristol paper (9x12), Prismacolor Premier pencils, graphite or mechanical pencil for sketching, and erasers (kneaded, block, and narrow, etc.)

Tuition: $75
