This week was our first Botanic Art Class at the Yarraville Community Centre and the Louis Joel Arts Centre in Altona. All classes were well attended including some nervous faces! It's great to see students who considering they have never really done any drawing or painting before in their lives, produce a piece of work that is pretty amazing.
This week we used pencil on paper, to loosen up and gain confidence before we start using watercolours. I have included a number of images of work drawn in the first week.
It is also fantastic to see last years students again, ready to take it a step further. There were some laughs about my idea to show students work in the second half of this year in a exhibition. I am really confident though that over the next semesters some great works of Art will be made.
