Objective: Bring the type and size of paper that is suitable for the media you will be using for your finished project. Remember to include a nice margin of several inches on each side for handling in addition to any surrounding white space around your final image. If you will be using water-based media, consider 300lb. paper as you could be covering quite a large background area.
Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Prerequisites: Botanical Drawing I
Relevant demos are recorded and made available to pre-registered students within 1 week of each class session. Videos will be viewable for one month from receipt.
Drawing techniques from Drawing 1 will be reviewed in order to accurately depict the shapes and textures of local birds. Practicing the various pairings of bird and plant that “need” each other within a single composition will be explored. Finishing with a student choice of a bird/plant portrait drawing or a study page drawing of the bird/plant choice. A great way to learn how to help our birds and plants remain a healthy part of our environment. Botanical Art and Illustration Certificate elective.

- Phipps Adult Education classes are designed for individuals 18 years of age and older. Minors are permitted to attend online classes. Parents/guardians are welcome to sit in on class, but need to sign up separately to receive their own credit.
- Phipps reserves the right to substitute instructors when necessary.
- Receiving Class Credit: For both core and elective classes, students must attend all class sessions and complete and submit all the work required to earn class credit. Class credit is important if a student is pursuing the Basic or Advanced Botanical Art and Illustration certificate. Even if a student is not sure about pursuing the certificate, it is recommended that they earn credit for each class because this is difficult to do retroactively. If a student has to miss class (e.g. health reasons or a death in the family), they must contact the instructor at their earliest convenience to see if it’s possible to still earn class credit.
- A note on recordings: The class recordings posted on Google Classroom are meant to aid students in completing their work between classes but are not a substitute for attending class. Students are required to attend all classes and are not allowed to miss class and watch the recordings for credit.
