About the Course
Flora and Fauna for beginners is the perfect jumping off class for anyone who wants to paint and draw nature but doesn’t quite know where to start.
In the class you will begin the term with some drawing fundamentals and exercises in shading and colour, while completing short drawings or paintings. As the weeks progress, you will build to longer, more involved works which may be worked on over several weeks.
Through the term you will use watercolour, coloured pencil, graphite and even collage to depict the beauty of animal and plant life both native and exotic.

· Student/Artist quality pencils such as Faber- Castell Polychromos or Prisma Colour (24 colours or more is preferable)
· A sketch pad, or loose drawing paper
A beginner set of watercolour paints (preferably tubes, Staedtler is a good start)
· Watercolour paper and watercolour suitable brushes
· 2B, 4B, 6B and 4H graphite pencils
