Presented as a live webinar through Zoom
Objective: To be able to draw and paint fungi accurately with graphite and watercolor.
Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Prerequisites: Botanical Drawing I and II and Watercolor I (or equivalent experience, contact Stephanie Lind slind@phipps.conservatory.org)
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.
The first and most important step in developing your drawing and painting skills is to not just look at your subject, but to see! Learn the basics of mushroom foraging with the goal of documenting the fungi in a sketchbook. Build on these skills to draw a mushroom in graphite. Go on to create a pleasing composition and design a watercolor painting. Learn graphite and dry brush watercolor technique while building your knowledge of fungi. Add in important natural elements and capture the essence of your mushroom while maintaining an eye to the mycological aspects of your subject. Botanical Art and Illustration 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.
