Tea Olive, illustration by Fran Phaneuf
An Introduction to Botanical Illustration with Fran Phaneuf will be offered by the Chestertown Arts League Wednesdays, March 7, 14, 21, and 28; 9am – noon. at Heron Point. This is being offered for the third time because it is generating so much enthusiasm by the students who have taken the class. Because the instructor gives individual direction, new registrants will fit right in.
Students will discover the detail and beauty of painting flowers and plants. This course provides an introduction to the use of watercolor in creating botanical paintings with emphasis on composition, leaf drawing, and shading. Students are given a lot of individual attention so that they can work at their own speed. Consequently, this workshop is appropriate for those who are very new to watercolors and those with experience. The course fee is $120 for members and $145 for non-members.
Fran Phaneuf is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists and has studied botanical painting in Great Britain with Anne Marie Evans and at Longwood Gardens, PA with Joan Frain. Her paintings have been exhibited at the Philadelphia Flower Show, Chanticleer, Morris Arboretum and other venues in the Philadelphia area.
