The Science Museum of the University of Navarra organizes a botanical illustration workshop for all audiences.

The Science Museum of the University of Navarra has organized a botanical illustration workshop for all audiences so that attendees can develop artistic and technical skills when representing plants and flowers.

Marie-Anne Reynell, director of development of the Science Museum points out that one of the objectives of this training is to educate the eye and encourage observation of nature. "Through botanical watercolor, we invite attendees to stop, observe nature and capture those details that, in the fast pace of modern life, often go unnoticed."

Participants will learn to observe the Anatomy of botanical species, capturing essential details such as textures, shapes and colors with precision. This thematic workshop, which aims to unite scientific observation and artistic creation, is presented in four modules: the first one is oriented to introduce the technique through exercises of Issue with watercolor and to know the different textures; in the second one the participants will learn the main differences between botanical art and scientific illustration; the third one focuses on botanical composition through the dissection or decomposition of a plant; and in the fourth one the participants will be able to draw and paint landscapes both in person and through photographs.

The sessions will be led by professor and painter Laura González Toledo and will be held in partnership the Botany Section of department Environmental Biology at the School of Science at the University of Navarra.

This botanical watercolor workshop will be held at Sciences Building of the University of Navarra during five Saturdays at schedule from 10 am to 1 pm: October 19, December 14, February 15, April 12 and June 14. The price of this training is 75€ per person with a discount of 15€ for students. Registrations can be made through the website.
