CLASSROOM COURSE Keeping a sketchbook: drawing the Garden

Keeping a sketchbook is the best habit an artist can have. The more you draw from reality the easier it will be to develop your own style and compositions. Discover fun methods to develop your sketching in Cambridge Botanic Garden with illustrator Karin Eklund. Using the garden and Glasshouses as our starting point, Karin will give creative prompts to get you started and introduce new materials and techniques throughout the day. Looking carefully at plants and drawing from observation will be our starting point, gradually introducing elements of imagination, memory and found materials. A sketchbook is a place to experiment and develop ideas.
