Explore the fascinating shapes, textures and patterns of botanicals, then transform them into imaginative worlds by combining them with creatures, insects and animals. Create curious, unexpected and whimsical compositions where nature meets imagination.

You’ll learn techniques for shading and adding depth with coloured pencils, exploring colour, texture, light and shadow to bring your surreal creations to life. No drawing experience is necessary, just come along, get creative and see where your imagination takes you.
