Turn basic shapes into beautiful florals and create your own custom letterform masterpiece! — even if you’ve never drawn botanicals before!
In this class, I’ll guide you through designing your own floral letter composition from scratch. We’ll study leaves, flowers, and palms, break them down into simple shapes, and build up a full, vibrant piece filled with life. Whether you’re working digitally or traditionally, this class is designed for absolute beginners who want to master floral illustration basics and combine them with lettering in a creative, approachable way.
