Illustrated Botanical Journals

Illustrated Botanical Journals

Spend a relaxing evening studying and sketching botanicals to create a beautiful illustrated journal. Broaden your understanding of flowers and plants through guided lessons. Explore layouts, record observations and learn terminology. Experiment with graphite, pen and ink, colored pencil and watercolor. Botanical journaling can be a very meditative process that enhances creativity. Incorporating words, descriptions and feelings that arise through the process can make your experience even more personal.
