Practical Course in Botanical Art, Drawing and Illustration.

February 2013

Two well-known Botanical Artists, Ms. Holly Somerville – (see http://www.hollysomerville.com/) and Ms. Elaine Cullen (who provided the illustrations for the recently published ‘Webb's An Irish Flora’ – see http://corkuniversitypress.com/Webb's_an_Irish_Flora/336/) will be running a 3 day practical course in Botanical Drawing and Watercolour Illustration based in the Trinity College Botanic Gardens at Dartry, Dublin 6 (nearest Luas Station, Milltown) in Spring 2013 between 7th May and 9th May. Another similar course will run in the Autumn between the 3rd and 5th of September 2013.

In both the Spring and Autumn courses, and following last year’s very successful model, all abilities will be catered for, as each participant will receive individual tuition. In both courses the Botanical Drawing session occupies the first day only (Tuesday) and precedes the Watercolour course whose sessions follow on Wednesday and Thursday. All sessions start at 10.30 am and end at 4.00 pm. The course will cost €40 per day OR €110 for all three days. Tea and coffee will be provided and materials will be supplied.

Places are very few in number and strictly limited. Please email Sophia - botany@tcd.ie – to confirm your participation. Payment in advance is essential and required to secure your place. Cheques should be made payable to “TCD No 1 Account” and sent to The Executive Officer, School of Botany, Trinity College Dublin 2, Ireland.
