Online botanical illustration course

[Full disclosure: I work in Cornelly University’s Department of Horticulture.]

If one of your new year’s resolutions is to become more creative and perhaps unleash that artist hidden within, consider:

Introduction to Botanical Illustration
Course starts Jan. 19.

If you’ve ever wanted to become proficient at illustrating what you see in your garden, this 6-week online course will teach you the basics of rendering plants in pencil and ink.

The instructor, my friend and co-worker Marcia Eames Sheavly, is an accomplished artist who also teaches our popular Art of Horticulture course, recently featured by Julie over at The Human Flower Project.

There’s also an online organic gardening course that starts tomorrow, Jan. 5. You can still register if you hurry.
