Everyone can learn how to draw, professionals and beginners alike. Working with graphite and items found in nature, these exercises explore how to find the lights and darks, how to tone to create three-dimensional pieces and then how to make them “spin off the page”! Using the techniques employed by botanical artists, render your subjects with realistic detail and like-like depth.
Materials: Graphite pencils, preferably Staedtler, paper, erasers and an electric pencil sharpener
