Master the art of vibrant botanical illustration in real-time.

This class will take you step-by-step through creating a botanical sketch. By the end of this class, you will draw a bright poppy botanical sketch illustration with markers.

It is a Real-Time Draw-Along experience, meaning I don't skip any steps or speed up the footage too much. We will work through the entire process together: from the initial pencil sketch to the final, intricate textures that make a botanical illustration look professional and "alive."

What This Class Covers:

Accurate Sketching: How to analyze a reference and transfer the structure of the poppy to paper.
Complex Layering: Techniques for building deep, rich red tones without losing the luminosity of the paper.
Advanced Blending: Mastering smooth transitions in large petals and creating soft, realistic gradients.
Detailing & Textures: How to use markers and fine-liners to capture the delicate, crinkled texture of the petals and the details of the center.
Final Highlights: Adding those finishing touches that make your flower "pop" off the page.

Why Real-Time?

Botanical illustration requires patience and precision. By drawing with me in real-time, you can follow my hand and understand the timing behind every blend. This format ensures you don't get lost in the process and can achieve a high-level result.

This class is for you if:

You want to move beyond basic sketches and create a detailed, professional-level botanical illustration.
You want to master the specific techniques of working with alcohol markers.
You enjoy a calm, focused, and methodical approach to drawing.

Materials:

I will be using alcohol-based markers (I use Touch and Ohuhu markers, you can use your favorite brand), but the principles of light, shadow, and structure can be applied to other mediums as well. So you can use your favorite tools, like watercolors or colored pencils, and you are free to mix them. It’s always fun, and you can achieve great results.

I appreciate your positive review and feedback, and I am always here to help you!
