MORE FLORA!
Following on from several iterations of Flora I and II, Zoë Nash presents More Flora – another opportunity to creatively explore a range of diverse mark-making, drawing and painting techniques using nature as inspiration.
Beginning with some loose observational studies using real-life specimens, the class will be gently encouraged to investigate multiple ways to illustrate how flora can be personally meaningful to their own experience.
Whereas Flora I focusses on direct observation of selected plant specimens, and Flora II examines how to capture the mood, feeling and emotion that nature can impart, More Flora takes an intuitive, mixed media, multi layered approach to create less-representational imagery that rather alludes to plant and flower motifs.
Starting with group activities, we’ll gradually work towards slower and more self-directed projects that provide plenty of opportunity to develop beyond the classroom.
More Flora is suitable for any level of experience. You do not need to have completed the other classes, although anyone with a love of nature and a passion for plants is actively encouraged to participate in all three. Feel free to bring along your own plant and flower specimens if desired, and please check the Materials List for everything you need in advance.
