Intro to Botanical Illustration with Sophie Tivona
Couldn't load pickup availability
SATURDAY, MAY 17, 2:00pm - 5:00pm PT
This is an in-person workshop at CfM Art Room:
4035 Judah St, San Francisco, next door to our shop!
Join Sophie for a beginner-friendly session that will introduce you to the wonderful world of botanical illustration! We will use a transfer & tracing technique to capture a beautiful flower - no drawing skills required. Sophie will guide you through the steps to complete your painting and you will leave with the confidence to continue your botanical watercolor journey!

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR
I have followed a meandering path to find my way to a career in illustration and I'm overjoyed to share my love of nature through painting. Watercolor is my muse and I love its unpredictable, unforgiving qualities; it is my daily joy to harness the wildness of the medium and reveal its delicacy and strength.
