Composition
for Botanical Illustration

The success of any work of art depends not only on the artist’s skill at drawing or painting, but more importantly on their ability to communicate ideas effectively. This course presents a variety of design strategies that are foundational to botanical illustration by exploring basic concepts of design and composition and examining a variety of approaches to composition that are specific to botanical illustration.

Our Garden continues to follow CDC recommendations and state guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19.
