Lichen twig
January 18, 2012
Started a new drawing today…bearded lichen and fringed lichen clinging to a twig. This summer I will have the opportunity to teach at the New York Botanical Gardens. My subject will be lichens and mosses done in graphite and watercolor. Looking forward to the experience…

Nature has always been a strong influence in my life. I teach botanical art, nature journaling, work in clay and dabble in haiku. My strongest life influence is the bright spirit of my son who is always with me and my husband and critters; two cats and two dogs.

What a fantastic drawing! I love seeing it in the beginning stages like this and seeing how you approach the details of the lichen. I look forward to seeing the next stage!

Thank you Paz
the workshop I’m teaching has some prerequisite requirements – Drawing 1&2, and Watercolor 1. I remember you were looking for drawing classes when you first starting following my blog. Have you found any classes in NY? If you have enough foundation work with pencil you may enjoy the workshop….I’ll let you everyone know when it is in the catalogue and official

Well, that leaves me out of the class, then. I never did find a drawing class to take. Maybe this will be the year. I look forward to reading about your class.

Paz….if you have some drawing background you could probably join in….I give very extensive demonstrations and you would probably get your feet wet
I just don’t want you to get lost in the shuffle

LOL! I understood what you meant. Thanks! If I can make it, I’ll definitely like to take the class. Just to get my feet wet, as you say. It will be fun, I think, and a good learning experience.
