CLASSROOM COURSE Composite flowers: Asteraceae

This two day course aims to teach you how to illustrate Composite flowers, and a bit about the anatomy of this family of plants.  We’ll touch on the botany of both the flowers and the seedheads, think about composition, and there’ll be demos and handouts suggesting ways to illustrate them.  You will get to examine and draw some of these flowers and florets under the microscope, illustrate a variety of Composite species, and had the opportunity to look at Composite species in the garden and to work on a couple of watercolour illustrations of these wonderful flowers. Throughout the workshop Lizzie will be on hand doing demonstrations, teaching, and giving one-to-one advice and tips.
